The path directly along the Perdoel estate to the bridge over the Alte Schwentine is private and closed. The lord of the manor does not like hikers using this path.

Lake Schmalensee is located west of the town of Schmalensee and borders the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park. It covers approximately 90 hectares and is up to 7.5 meters deep. It is part of the Bornhöved Lake Chain, which consists of six lakes and is also part of the Wankendorf Lake District. Lake Bornhöved is located south of Lake Schmalensee, and in the immediate vicinity; the two are connected by a 100-meter-long branch canal. There is a swimming area on the southeastern shore of the lake.

The lake was first mentioned in a document in 1075 in a description of the Limes Saxoniae by Adam of Bremen. The village was first mentioned in 1347, when the knight Nikolaus Splyth pledged his estate, including the village of Stocksee, to Reinfeld Monastery. From 1640 to 1649, Stocksee was owned by the noble Brockdorff family. In 1649, Duke Joachim Ernst (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön), the first Duke of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön, acquired Stocksee.[6]

On October 1, 1937, the municipality of Stocksee was merged with the neighboring village of Damsdorf under the name Stocksee. In 1948, the municipal council decided to separate the municipalities again, and this decision was implemented on March 31, 1951.[8][9] In the 1980s, divers found a roughly 700-year-old dugout canoe in the lake, indicating a longer settlement history in the village.

Today's lake fills a deeply incised glacial tongue basin from the Weichselian glaciation. This basin was formed by the advance of various glaciers, which carved out large basins in the soft soil and deposited the material laterally. This formation resulted in the lake's shores being relatively steep, and the reed beds along the shores are relatively narrow. The lake contains three islands (Großrethberg, Kleine Insel, and Lange Insel) and a peninsula, which, like the shoreline, are predominantly covered in alder swamp forests. In higher elevations, these wetland forests transition into extensively managed beech forests.

The Schmalensee near Plön has a maximum depth of 7.5 meters and an area of approximately 90 hectares. It is part of the Bornhöved chain of lakes and is located west of the town of Schmalensee. The average depth of the lake is 4 meters.

Cows and calves grazing on pasture is an image often associated with species-appropriate animal husbandry and a high quality of life for the animals. Spending time together on pasture promotes the animals' natural behavior, enables social interaction, and contributes to their health. Advantages of grazing cows and calves: Natural husbandry: Cows and calves can pursue their natural needs, such as eating, exercising, resting, and interacting with other animals. Social learning: Calves learn how to interact in the herd from older animals and imitate their eating behavior. Improved animal welfare: Grazing promotes the animals' health because they can exercise, soak up sunlight, and breathe fresh air. Stable herd structure: Grazing together contributes to the development of close relationships and promotes a calm and stable herd structure. Promoting natural feeding habits: Calves learn to eat pasture feed early on and can thus better meet their needs. Less stress and competition: Due to the larger space and forage variety on the pasture, stress caused by competition is reduced. Aspects to consider when grazing: Weather conditions: Dry weather is important to protect pasture soils and animals from wet conditions. Forage availability: A good pasture with sufficient forage is crucial for successful grazing. Shelter: A sheltered shelter with dry bedding should be available to protect the animals from the elements. Frost-free water troughs: A frost-free water supply is important in winter, so heated water troughs should be provided. Keeping cows and calves together on pasture is an animal-friendly and natural form of husbandry that has a positive effect on the well-being and health of the animals.

A beautiful route but still quite easy only for experienced riders in my opinion🚴
