シェーンキルヒェンの湖・トップ20

The natural area features numerous protected areas in almost all protection categories. Only a small number of areas are designated as true nature reserves, including the Alter und Neuer See bird sanctuary south of Sulzheim-Mönchstockheim. Another larger area is the Dürrfelder and Sulzheimer Wald fauna-flora habitat, which is also one of the largest forest areas within the Steigerwald foothills. The area is also part of the Schweinfurt Basin and Northern Steigerwald Foothills bird sanctuary.

The Kirchbarkau - Preetz - Lütjenburg (KPL) narrow-gauge railway, founded in 1908, connected rural towns in the region from 1910 onwards over a distance of 41.1 kilometres with 23 stops and was used primarily for freight transport, for example for agricultural products. Despite good infrastructure and regular transport, it was not economically viable, so passenger transport was initially discontinued and then all operations were discontinued in 1938. The line was dismantled, but relics such as the Schwentine Bridge remind us of this short but significant era in regional transport history.

The Dobersdorfer See is a lake between Schlesen (eastern shore) and the districts of Jasdorf (southern shore), Gut Dobersdorf (western shore) and Tökendorf (northwestern shore) of the municipality of Dobersdorf in the Plön district of Schleswig-Holstein.

nice to rest, enjoy and linger

Just watch out for the edge when going up and down

Hey, the bridge is pretty, but make the effort to explore the moderately difficult route including the Schwentine and the western mountain landscape. It's worth it. In small groups or in pairs. Really.

The beautiful bridge should be torn down. A citizens' initiative saved the bridge for pedestrians and bicycles. Now it is freshly painted and maintained by citizens every second year.

The southern shore is an impertinence for cyclists!
