Beautiful trail with an iconic name. Possible with a road bike, but better with a gravel bike or mountain bike.

A very idyllic and quiet bathing area with a long jetty that extends into the Westensee. Large lawn shaded by trees with benches and picnic tables. There is also an outdoor shower. The highlight is the restaurant located right next to the bathing area. High standard, including in terms of prices.

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.

The Emkendorf estate is located in Schleswig-Holstein in the municipality of Emkendorf in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde. It is a strictly symmetrical farm complex. In addition to the manor house, several farm buildings and other outbuildings have been preserved. The Hasensee, which used to be connected to the Westensee, is located in the extensive English-style landscape park. A 250-year-old avenue of linden and chestnut trees borders the estate grounds to the south. It is part of the old highway from Kiel to Rendsburg and has been protected as a natural monument since 1936.
