Unfortunately, it's been completely fenced in for cattle farming since 2025... no more room for people 😢

To improve its own infrastructure and to stimulate the increasing local recreation in the Flensburg area, the municipality of Wallsbüll has created a leisure facility with an adventure playground. A remarkable facility was created on 4.5 hectares, including a former gravel pit, without interfering with nature. It is considered groundbreaking in Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the exemplary overall development of a leisure, sports and meeting place for our citizens. https://www.wallsbuell.de/leben/freizeitanlage/

Really nice bathing lake

The swan pond in Flensburg is a pond on the southern edge of the Marienholzung. The pond is 75 meters long from north-east to south-west and about 30 meters wide. In the middle of the pond is an island about 10 by 10 meters in size. The pond should be no more than one meter deep. On the north side, a small forest stream flows into the pond. On the south side of the pond, the forest stream flows off. The aforementioned forest stream is one of the countless small streams that feed the Marienau. Since the Middle Ages, fish farming ponds have been created in the Flensburg area and also at various points in the Stadtfeld, which belonged to the city of Flensburg. On a map of Flensburg's Stadtfeld from 1779, several such fish ponds are evidently recorded in the said southern area of the Marienholzung. The swan pond has been preserved as the last of this pond economy. At the end of the 18th century, the Marienholzung became a destination for Flensburg residents. In the 19th century, the nearby Marienholzung inn (about 200 meters north-west) was the first inn for day trippers to be set up in the Marienholzung. The excursion destination Schwanenteich was captured in pictures on several postcards from the 20th century. In some of these illustrations, swans are swimming on the pond. The name Schwanenteich is also already mentioned on these postcards. The painter Hans Christiansen painted the pond in 1901 for a book illustration. He and his wife immortalized themselves on the graphic entitled "Prominent couple at the swan pond". In contrast to that time, the pond is now enclosed by a wooden fence. There are also benches to relax and a rain shelter. Instead of swans, mallards can now be seen living in the pond. To this day, the swan pond is often associated with the fairytale Jungfernsee of the Eddeboe, where, according to legend, at midnight the maidens, who were once kidnapped and dishonored by the evil knight of the Eddeboe, dance around the lake in long white robes and with quiet , wailing voices would sing sad tunes. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwanenteich_(Flensburg)

A great facility, here you can have a barbecue or take a leisurely break, tables and benches are available.👍

The bathing area is very well maintained, and the paths are easy to cycle there.

Nice way to the lake

Through the joint initiative of the communities of Handewitt and Wanderup, gravel mining has found a successor as the “Seenland-um-Flensburg” local recreation area. A main attraction is the new bathing area 🏊‍♂️ in Wanderup with a width of 30 meters and a length of 750 meters. The multifunctional house 🏠 located at the Wanderuper bathing lake includes an information and service center as well as toilets. Furthermore, events can be held in a multi-purpose room and extracurricular educational opportunities can be offered. Hiking and cycling trails 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️ with different lengths from 1.8 km to 6 km are also available. The exceptionally good water quality also made the reintroduction of endangered animal species possible in the nutrient-poor mining waters 🐸 _________ *IMPORTANT: I summarize information from various sources and share it here.
