At the Schaalsee there is the Zarrentin monastery complex. A nice complex with a very nice church. From there we walked on the moor nature trail. Beautifully laid out wooden path through the moor with many explanations of flora and fauna. Highly recommended

The car park at the church is a good starting point for tours in Zarrentin. Unfortunately, it has now also become chargeable. 90 minutes cost € 1.80. But that's just about right ... Down by the lake you can take a nice walk with great views. There are also some good opportunities for dogs to cool their paws in the …

Our camper simply has to be moved.
After brief consideration and a look at the Landvergnügen app, the choice fell on the Schaalsee.

Apparently others had the idea too, because first of all there …

A nun from the Zarrentin monastery, as the legend goes, had a craving for whitefish. She knew this fish from her home region and longed for it intensely. So, one night, the devil appeared to her and offered to fetch her whitefish from Lake Constance. He promised to be back by midnight and, in return, would receive her soul.

Before the big heat wave in the next few days, we first hiked on the adventure trail through the moor and then strolled along the lakeside path at Schaalsee in pleasant temperatures. We have u. large dragonflies and a giant green caterpillar.
A stiff breeze that came up every now and then brought a pleasant cooling. In any case, it …
