Beautiful nature for cycling and hiking. Be considerate of pedestrians, it is quite narrow in places.

This side of the Noor is easy to drive on. One avenue of trees after the other and the view of the Noor enrich your bike tour.

The circumnavigation of Windebyer Noor should only be undertaken if it has not rained for a long time. In the northern and west-facing part, the path is boggy and partly paved with small "wooden planks" with gaps in between. You can drive very close to the Noor. An absolutely recommendable experience 👍 .

The White Stone is the 6th largest boulder in Schleswig-Holstein. It is almost always occupied by cormorants and, thanks to their legacies, is white.
