Fresh fish from Lake Plön and smoked fish straight from the oven can be purchased at the Lasner fish farm in Ascheberg. This way, you can try your hand at preparing your own fish dishes: whitefish with boiled potatoes, eel soup – there are countless fish recipes to choose from. For those who prefer to catch their own fish for their next meal, fishing licenses are available at many locations. Fishing without a permit is allowed here, however, a tourist fishing license (a temporary holiday fishing license) is required.

The only fully functional of the three windmills within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park is located in Ascheberg-Langenrade. The windmill, named "Sventana," was built in 1860 in Kleinmühlen near Plön. It has stood in Ascheberg only since 1890, replacing a predecessor that burned down. In 1982, three couples with a passion for windmills decided to restore it to working order. After considerable financial investment and many hours of labor, the single-story smock mill has been operational and flying again since 1990. The restoration of the mill's sails was financially supported, among other things, by state funds for nature parks.
