Trail between Westensee and Ahrensee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path between the lakes is certainly beautiful in summer, but a challenge in the wet season.

Forest trail along Lake Ahrensee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

After heavy rainfall, this section is partially accessible. The view of Lake Ahrensee is significantly limited, even in winter.

The nature reserve around the Ahrensee and Westensee is very interesting and varied! You can see many birds. It is also very boggy, especially between the lakes, sturdy shoes or rubber boots are recommended.

View of Bossee Lake from the Wooden Dock

June 29, 2023,Rund um den Westensee

The trail was nice, but I can't recommend the surface - at least half of the trail was asphalt. But I knew that beforehand, because I had already walked the path in sections, sometimes several times. And today it was the turn of the whole group. 😉 The Bossee, the Schierensee and at the end the Ahrenssee were still on …

Title hike, see picture 14 of 21 😁

For the first 10 kilometers (Westensee - Felde) there is almost only a road-side cycle path, which is called the "Nature Park Hiking Trail". The second half makes up for this completely.

Very nice, varied tour! Almost no cars on Sundays as the road between Hohenhude and Westensee is closed.

Beautiful nature park hiking trail. What I didn't know before and read on Wikipedia:
"The nature park trail runs through Westensee, connecting the five nature parks in Schleswig-Holstein for hikers."

I chose the Westensee as the fourth lake for the challenge and was surprised at how much water was still on the meadows and paths, especially between the Ahrensee and Westensee.

May 17, 2025,Rund um den Westensee (ILC SH 05)

And once again, we're planning a lake circuit. Since we still had some things to do in Kiel, we chose Lake Westensee.
We start in Hohenhude – it's quite close to Kiel when traveling through the countryside, and after a few kilometers of hiking, we have the prospect of a coffee in Felde.
From Hohenhude, we head through a varied …

Battery at 85%, charging cable and power bank included, clear to cloudy, 14 degrees... and thus 10 degrees warmer than when I was last round the lake here (when the super high water level caused me a lot of mental stress).
Let's go! Yay! The tour around the Westensee is really a recommendable 🔝 tour! It leads through wonderful terrain, …
