A very nice view over the lake. In certain weather conditions it can be very windy here. But still a great place to enjoy the view on a walk or a round trip by bike.

The Plön Lake District is gorgeous 👍 It was fun walking along several lakes.

The castle and town are also worth seeing, with beautiful old buildings.

We'll have to do another bike ride here to discover even more lakes 😉

We were back at the car just in time for the rain ☔️ 🤗

Great hike around the Schhöhsee in Plön - past the Parnaß Tower (85 m above sea level). A view over the city is only possible again from Easter, until then the tower will remain closed!
