Great that you can catch a glimpse of the lake again and again, that's not the case so often with all lake circumnavigations.

The view is a dream and there is a bench where you can sit and relax.

If the ferry is not running: Just go to Rendsburg and drive through the tunnel there

There's a narrow canal passage here, so the view from here is quite beautiful. Tip: Step onto the canal promenade at the top – it's even more impressive there.

My group passed by here on our "Seelust: Bike Tour to the Kiel Canal" tour. The tour and the entire cycling trip, of which it's a part, are fantastic. We made it through safely.
