There are 20 stamp boxes distributed along three circular hiking trails: the Kellersee Circular Trail (Malente), the Plön Lakes Circular Trail (Plön), and the Segeberg Rivers and Lakes Circular Trail (Bad Segeberg). Each box contains a numbered stamp with a motif from the region and an ink pad. Use this to stamp the corresponding number in your hiking pass. For five different stamps, you'll receive a hiking pin (available at one of the tourist information centers in Malente, Plön, Eutin, or Bad Segeberg). For every five additional stamps, you'll receive another pin, for a total of four different pins. Anyone who collects all 20 stamps will also receive a certificate.
