The Behler See is a lake in Holstein Switzerland. It lies between Timmdorf in the east and the town of Plön in the west. In the east it flows into the Langensee and in the west into the Höftsee. The Schwentine river flows through all of these lakes from east to west.

At 28 square kilometers, Lake Plön is the largest lake in Schleswig-Holstein and the tenth largest lake in Germany. The river Schwentine flows through it. This waterway connects it to the other lakes in the Holstein Lake District (the Kleiner and Großer Eutiner See, the Kellersee, the Kleiner Plöner See, the Diksee and the Ukleisee).

Excursion boats (5-lake trip) connect the towns of Plön, Malente-Gremsmühlen, Niederkleveez and Timmdorf.

Sterin Island (Großer Plöner See)

Highlight • Lake

In Plön and the surrounding area, there are cormorant colonies that sometimes cause damage to vegetation and fisheries. The island of Sterin in the Great Plön Lake is a well-known example of the destructive effect of cormorant droppings, which virtually destroy vegetation. There was also a cormorant colony on an island in Lake Selent, which was later abandoned and subsequently recovered.

June 24, 2025,Seenrunde von Plön über Timmdorf und zurück

Today, during a break in the rain, I took a short tour through the beautiful landscape with its numerous small lakes east of Plön. Good trails and views are a given.
