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 Schönbek Moor (also known as the Great Moor) forms the border between Loop (Holstein) and Schönbek. The raised bog was previously used, as was common practice, for peat mining. The area was not a municipality until 1888 and was incorporated into Dätgen, Loop and Schönbek in the same year. The Höllenau and the Olendieksau rivers, which flow into the Brahmsee, have their source in the Schönbek Moor. The moor thus lies on the watershed between the Stör and Wehrau river systems, which now flow into the Kiel Canal and used to flow into the Eider. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6nbeker_Moor

The Borgdorfer See is particularly popular with children. They will find great opportunities to really let off steam here. There is a football pitch, a beach volleyball court and a bouncy cushion. In the water, slides, a pontoon and many water figures ensure great fun. Of course, there is also a kiosk for those who are a little hungry. Parents have a good view of their children from the small terrace. In addition, the bathing area at the Borgdorfer See is partially guarded by the DLRG. You will find the Borgdorfer See near the town of Nortorf. An absolutely family-friendly bathing area in terms of entrance and kiosk prices. https://www.tourismus-naturpark-westensee.de/freizeit/badeseen

German Record Museum - Where the sound came into the groove.... Everything here revolves around the world of music - from the manufacturing process of a record to the more than 100-year history of sound recordings. The museum is housed in the historic boiler house of TELDEC, the only surviving building from the time when the company that merged from Telefunken and Decca was Nortorf's largest employer. Even back then, Nortorf was called "The City of the Record". No fewer than 850 million shellac and later vinyl records were pressed in the production halls by 1987, including musical treasures from musical legends such as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Udo Lindenberg. The old factory clock in the shape of a record, now visible from afar and now on the facade of the German Record Museum, is also a reminder of the old days. An unusually varied exhibition awaits you inside. The centerpiece is around 200,000 records, mainly from donations from the NDR record archives in Kiel and Hamburg. In addition, there are lots of exciting exhibits on the two floors and on the gallery: from the old, heavy pressing machines to rare pickups such as the Edison phonograph, iconic jukeboxes and the most modern music system. Many people will probably come across good old friends from their own youth here, such as the small portable transistor radio or even the mobile record player for the beach. Various films provide clear information about the production process of records. And if you feel like it, you can even sit on high bar stools at a 1950s counter like in the old days and immerse yourself in the music with handheld headphones. Changing exhibitions, various events and a museum shop round off the offering of our barrier-free, modern museum. Free parking for visitors is available right next to the museum entrance, additional parking spaces are available at the town hall of Nortorf. https://museum-nortorf.de/
