Nice view over the lake in atmospheric nature

Princes' Island, which became a peninsula in the 19th century due to the artificial lowering of the water level, is about 2 km long and only about 30 m wide in places.For many centuries, only its tip, belonging to the castle grounds, protruded from the Great Plön Lake.
It is a peninsula extending from the castle gardens, where a farm was once located. On this farm, the sons of the German Emperor Wilhelm II learned the trade of farming.
Empress Auguste-Victoria often visited her sons on Princes' Island.A small pavilion at the tip of the peninsula marks the Empress's favorite spot during her visits there.
Princes' Island may only be explored on foot or by bicycle.
It can be reached on foot via the beach path in about 45 minutes from the city center.
The path leads past the Plön boat rental, the former boarding school boathouse, and the Siebenstern (Seven Star) at the end of the castle gardens.
