The name of the bridge goes back to a legend that is mainly known to the long-time residents. Thereafter, children were threatened that the bridge would collapse if they lied before walking over it.

The Canons' Monastery, founded by Vicelin in Neumünster in 1125, moved to Bordesholm in 1330. The canons made an island in the Bordesholmer lake land-proof through three dams and built a church and monastery on it.

April 7, 2024,7k Bordesholm Runde um den See

Sunny walk around the lake after the rain and in short sleeves. Including a cool drink in the sun at the lakeside terraces.

For my 30th there was a nice tour through Bordesholm, a place and a community between Neumünster and Kiel.
The place seemed likeable right away, the police drove past me even though I walked past residential buildings with a camera. 😁
Even though there was a lot going on around the Bordesholmer See, it was still quite peaceful and relaxing. …

The walk around Lake Bordesholm always provides new visual pleasures. My endorphin levels were increased.
The climb to the monastery church was also worth it.
The ancient linden tree is starting a new life.

September 1, 2024,Um den Bordesholmer See

We used a visit to Wattenbek to take a detour to Lake Bordesholm. The circular walk takes an hour, mostly under trees (including some great tall oaks) and with the opportunity to take a break on various park benches and look out over the water. There are currently local works of art based on Schleswig-Holstein legends, but we didn't look …

A lovely little walk around the lake—great for stretching your legs after a long car ride. Be careful, this is the parking lot for the forest kindergarten, so it's best used on weekends. On weekdays, you should be careful not to take up space for parents to drop off their children.

Bordesholm is a cute town with many historical buildings. Sights are above all the monastery island and the circular hiking trail along the lake.
