Running on the hard surface isn't quite so pleasant, but the old, ivy-covered trees are very beautiful.

The hiking trail here mostly runs directly along the Schwentine river... There are wonderful views of it time and again... numerous benches invite you to linger.

The Schwentine River is dammed here to form Lake Rosenfeld... it's almost completely surrounded by lovely woods... every now and then you get a nice view of the lake through a gap in the trees... you can also occasionally see anglers... It's especially beautiful here in autumn.

The former Benedictine convent with its church in Preetz is one of the region's most important cultural monuments. It was founded in 1210/11. Since the Reformation (1542), the convent has been under the care of the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood, who transformed it into a women's foundation, which still exists today and is administered by the convent council.
