Opened again in May 2025 after the path was closed in 2018. Pioneers from the Lettow-Vorbeck Barracks built the so-called Soldiers' Bridge in the 1970s. Soldiers used the bridge as a shortcut on their way to the southern part of the city. Today, the bridge is part of the Mönchsweg long-distance hiking trail.

No more cake: Landcafé Mözen has closed This is what it's about: Drinking coffee with homemade cake - that's what the café in Mözen was known for. This is what happened: But after the winter break, the oven will remain cold. Homemade cakes and sheet cakes will no longer be available, at least not for sale in the café. It was nice: As the operator announced on their own homepage, the café will apparently remain closed permanently. (KN 12.02.2025) https://www.landcafe-moezen.de/

The Great Segeberg Lake stretches between the town centre of Bad Segeberg and Klein Rönnau. You can cycle, hike, swim in many places and go boating here. The Great Segeberg Lake is just an eight-minute walk from the town centre of Segeberg and is around 1.7 km² in size. The Great Segeberg Lake is divided into two halves by the Spitzenort peninsula. The only real island in the Great Segeberg Lake is the bird island in the northern part of the lake. You can swim in the Great Segeberg Lake at unguarded, free bathing areas such as the floating jetty on the Segeberg spa promenade and at the bathing area at the KlüthseeCamp in Klein Rönnau. There is a bird sanctuary between Stipsdorf and Klein Rönnau, so there are no bathing areas in this area. In addition to the unguarded bathing areas, there is a lido in Bad Segeberg and an outdoor pool in Klein Rönnau. The water quality in the Great Segeberg Lake is excellent, so you can swim here without any worries. In Bad Segeberg there is a rowing club, a sailing club, a boating club and a boat rental for all adventurous water sports enthusiasts. There are other boating clubs in Klein Rönnau and Stipsdorf. On the south bank of the lake there is also an open-air forest grandstand and a play area. In addition to a youth hostel and numerous hotels around the lake, there is a campsite in Klein Rönnau and one in Bad Segeberg. The lake promenade in Bad Segeberg invites you to take a walk along the lake, tired hikers and cyclists can rest on the sun loungers on the sun deck directly on the promenade. If you want to hike or cycle a little further, there are numerous cycle paths in the area. The eight-kilometer circular path around the lake with a detour to the Kalkberg, a wonderful view from the Moosberg and the lake promenade as the destination and starting point is particularly popular. On average, a hike takes 90 minutes. You can of course go much faster by bike, but please watch out for hikers, the paths are sometimes narrow, but easy to ride. https://www.hamburg-tourism.de/sehen-erleben/gruenes-hamburg/parks-gruenanlagen/grosser-segeberger-see-1/
