The Schöhsee is located in the middle of Plön's urban area, nestled between the Trammer See, the Behler See and the Großer Plöner See. It is 78 hectares in size and has a maximum depth of 29.3 m. Due to the lake's low nutrient content and the resulting low algae growth, it is one of the clearest lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. In the summer months, visibility can reach up to 3.5 meters. There are three wooded islands on the lake, called the Kleiner Warder, Mittlerer Warder and Großer Warder. During the winter months, the lake is home to up to 2000 tufted ducks, as well as other bird species. It is also a breeding ground for great crested grebes, kingfishers, oystercatchers and many other water bird species. The Schöhsee can easily be walked around on a designated hiking trail. The circular trail with a great view of the lake is around 5.4 km long and is therefore also suitable for families and beginners.

A short loop around Lake Schöhsee, where the highlights include beautiful views of Lake Schöhsee, an old beech forest, meadows, and fields framed by hedgerows. If you want to cool off, a detour to the bathing area at Lake Schöhsee is recommended. In the village, the path along Lake Plön leads past a fishing snack bar and a marina. The loop can be extended at will with the Plön Lakes Loop. Perfect for a little active change on a Sunday.
