Westensee Nature Park The Westensee Nature Park is located in the particularly charming Holstein landscape, with its rolling hills, in the triangle formed by Kiel, Rendsburg, and Neumünster. Amidst this magnificent natural setting, in a typical Holstein landscape, you'll find babbling streams and rivers, tranquil lakes, refreshing forests, green meadows, and small fields. This mosaic of small landscapes is ideal for individual experiences.

The landscape conservation area is located in the north of the Altmark district of Salzwedel and includes the Arendsee as well as parts of the forest and grassland areas to the north. The villages of Arendsee, Genzien, Zießau and Ziemendorf are affected by the landscape conservation area.

The Westensee (elevation 6 m above sea level) is located in the Achterwehr district in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district. It is the fifth largest lake in Schleswig-Holstein and is characterized as a lime-rich lowland lake with a relatively large catchment area without pronounced temperature stratification. With its location between the cities of Kiel and Rendsburg, it forms the center of the Westensee Nature Park. It drains into Schleswig-Holstein's largest river, the Eider, and also reaches the Kiel Canal via the Achterwehr shipping canal.

What is striking is the massive occurrence of reeds in the wide bank zone.

Violets, larkspur and winter horsetail accompany you on your way through the beautiful Ahrensee nature reserve. A route of around 6 km takes you over partially damp meadow and forest paths through the spring-green Eider lowlands to the picturesque Ahrensee. The variety of biotopes also allows you to discover rarer plants. If you're lucky, you might see the sea eagle, which lives in a nest here. https://nwoe.de/Veranstaltung/maiwanderung-im-naturschutzgebiet-ahrensee-2/
