St. Catharine's Church, Westensee

Highlight • Religious Site

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Catherine's Church in Westensee is under the patronage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The fieldstone building dates mainly from the first half of the 13th century. The Gothic choir and the massive brick west tower were added later. Burial chapels for local nobles have been added to the north and east sides. Inside is the epitaph of Daniel von Rantzau, the oldest Renaissance work of art in Schleswig-Holstein. The church was extensively restored at the beginning of 2025.

View of Westensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the hiking trail over the road on the southern shore of the lake is quite monotonous, you are happy about the occasional view of the lake or a bench with a view of the NSG.

Ihlkatenweg Road Cycling Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Unfortunately, a short, but very nice section that lets you forget for a moment that there are also many bad roads here. This section has a perfect road surface, little traffic, is well visible and even has a nice view, especially at dawn. A strong climb, followed by a long descent that is really fun and finally a steeper climb again - so makes racing cycling fun in Schleswig-Holstein.
