Statue of the Eutin Lake Maiden on the lakeside promenade

A beautifully designed promenade with plenty of seating.

The promenade is great. Lots of seating right on the lake with a view of the castle. A food truck offers drinks, bratwurst / fries / currywurst.

In Eutin, the Great Eutin Lake is just a stone's throw from the old town. If you need to cool off after cultural enjoyment, you don't have to go far. The historic outdoor swimming pool with old changing rooms, wooden bathing jetties and lifeguard's house is just a 5-minute walk from the castle and the old town and is just the thing for families with children and enthusiastic water lovers. During a hiking or cycling tour, small, hidden natural bathing spots are also ideal for a dip in the cool water. If the weather is a bit more northern German, you can switch to the swimming pool with a view of the lake.
