キューレンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

From the bridge, one has a magnificent view over the Kirchsee on one side and the Lanker See on the other... Behind the Kirchsee, the church tower of the town church rises, visible from afar.

Still here!

This bridge crosses the Schwentine River, which flows from Lake Lanker to Lake Kirchsee. From here, I have a view of Lake Kirchsee all the way to the town church and, on the other side, towards Lake Lanker. From here, you can observe various water sports enthusiasts, as well as geese, seagulls, and ducks. The Way of St. James, the E1, and the Schuster Acht all run along here.

Right at the junction of Lake Kirchsee and Lake Lanker, through which the Schwentine River flows on its way from the Bungsberg to its mouth in the Kiel Fjord, there is a bridge and a small bay in front of it with sun loungers and benches for relaxing. From there, you have a view over Lake Kirchsee all the way to the town church. The bridge leads to the other shore, where you can continue walking along Lake Kirchsee to the town church. There are also hiking and cycling trails that continue to the Lanker See swimming pool or along the Schuster Acht. It is also possible to climb the Wehrberg, which houses a memorial to those killed in World War I.

As of the end of May 2025, the sign is still there.

When greylag geese and ducks take flight at the same time, a white-tailed eagle usually attacks the waterfowl, which protect themselves in groups by using defensive strategies or take flight, as the white-tailed eagle prefers to hunt on the ground or in the water. Other birds of prey, such as the common buzzard, red kite, and hobby, can also be seen at Kührener Teich and Lanker See.

The nature reserves 'Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker' and 'Kührener Teich and Surroundings' (in the immediate vicinity of the Lanker See Nature Reserve) represent a typical landscape section of the East Holstein Lake District. Parts of Lake Lanker and Kührener Teich are designated as Natura 2000 sites. In the reed beds and alder groves, numerous duck species, as well as the Great Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Black-necked Grebe, Great Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Wood Warbler, Black-throated Thrush, and Nightingale, breed in high population densities. The white-tailed eagle can also be easily observed from the NABU information hut at Kührener Teich.

Grazing of the Kührener Teich nature reserve takes place in the rewetting area along the railway line and at Lanker See by cattle belonging to the "Weidelandschaften e. V." association. The number of animals is calculated so that the area, in accordance with the "semi-open pasture landscape" concept, features alternating vegetation such as bushes, perennials, and short-grazed grasses.
