グローセルプレーナー湖のおすすめツーリングルート

I'd only ever seen painted cows like these at numerous Swiss locations... lovely to see the two of them frolicking in front of the Dieksee promenade.

The Langenrade windmill (also known as the "Sventana" windmill) is an impressive historical monument in the municipality of Ascheberg, very close to Plön.

The "Great Plön Lake Tour" is a boat trip on the Great Plön Lake that passes by almost all the towns and villages on the lake, offering a complete round trip of approximately two hours. The tour usually starts in Fegetasche in Plön and passes by Prinzeninsel (Prince's Island), as well as the towns of Ascheberg and Dersau. It is one of the most popular excursions in the Holstein Switzerland region and is operated with the MS "Holsteinische Schweiz".

The only fully functional of the three windmills within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park is located in Ascheberg-Langenrade. The windmill, named "Sventana," was built in 1860 in Kleinmühlen near Plön. It has stood in Ascheberg only since 1890, replacing a predecessor that burned down. In 1982, three couples with a passion for windmills decided to restore it to working order. After considerable financial investment and many hours of labor, the single-story smock mill has been operational and flying again since 1990. The restoration of the mill's sails was financially supported, among other things, by state funds for nature parks.

We visited here in winter. It was very beautiful here, even at this time of year.

Beautiful path through predominantly beech forest.

Swimming area on the Großer Plöner See (Great Plön Lake) with a sandy beach, playground, and sunbathing lawn. The long, sandy beach is the ideal swimming spot for families. A sunbathing lawn, benches, a hammock, a slide, mini-golf, and a small playground invite you to linger. The water is gently sloping and marked with a non-swimmer's boundary. Shady spots and a jetty into the water are available, as are changing facilities and restrooms.

The large Plön Lake is divided into two basins: the eastern Plön Basin and the western Ascheberg Basin. The small Plön Lake borders it to the north. The shores of the large Plön Lake are wooded, and several bird species can be found on the many islands. A visit to the Princes' Island is highly recommended!
