The Schwentine is one of the longest rivers in Schleswig-Holstein at 68 km[1]. It rises 1.7 km southwest of the highest point in the state, the Bungsberg, on a spring meadow northeast of the village of Bergfeld (Kasseedorf) and flows through the entire Holstein Switzerland with numerous large lakes. The river flows through the towns of Eutin, Bad Malente, Plön, Preetz, Schwentinental (Raisdorf and Klausdorf) and flows into the Kiel Fjord (Baltic Sea) in Kiel between the districts of Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf and Wellingdorf.

The oxbow lake of the Schwentine between Raisdorf and Klausdorf is a section of the Schwentine River that was designated a nature reserve in 1984.[6] It received this protected status because the stretch of water, thanks to its steep banks, has remained close to its natural state and provides a habitat for a number of rare plants and animals. The area is 19 hectares in size. In addition to the river, it also includes an oxbow lake and a tributary, hedgerows, herb-rich riparian and hillside forests, and small bodies of water.
