September 27, 2026,Herbst am Dieksee inkl. Holzbergturm 🍃🍄‍🟫🪜🌊| Bad Malente

Glorious late summer weather was forecast for today, so we set off again. 🙃
We went to Holstein Switzerland, where we wanted to hike around the Dieksee.
And I think this tour is "Part 2 of the Mushroom Mix" 🍄‍🟫🍄🍃. 😆🤭
We started in Bad Malente at the parking lot near the wildlife park.
First, we walked directly along the …

A beautiful loop in good weather. One side is very scenic, the other is a busy road. There are also lots of cyclists out and about.🤷🏻‍♀️

The circular route around the Dieksee looks more idyllic on the map than it is: a lot on the road or through towns. Feels like a maximum of 1/3 of the route near the lake.

Not necessarily the best Sunday weather, but with appropriate rain gear we still arrived relatively dry

This year I've decided to do the Iron Lake Challenge Schleswig-Holstein
The 10 largest lakes in Schleswig-Holstein are circled... I ticked the first box with today's Dieksee round.

The weather this week lures to the water and the woods, which still let in a lot of sun. Popular destinations are also pleasantly deserted during the week😊.
Above all, the path through the old beech forest south of Dieksee is particularly beautiful. But you can clearly see the damage done by the last storms. Huge trees are everywhere, snapped …

A really beautiful tour. Easy to do, even with moderate fitness. There are two small drawbacks, however. At one point you have to cross railway tracks, almost illegally, and there is a stretch along the road where there is no footpath.

Still a great tour, especially in the forest near the mirror ponds.
