View of Lake Rantzau

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always nice as a destination for bike or hiking tours. From the cafe with a lake view to the nice kiosk and many quiet places for your own picnic, there is something for everyone.

On the castle island you can admire numerous art installations or relax and linger on the hidden benches. The atmosphere is magical and if you like, you can stop by the castle prison café. It was probably never a real prison, but the officials in question had two small cells at their disposal, in which they occasionally had overnight guests until 1927.

Café Schloßgefängnis

Highlight • Cafe

The gatehouse used to stand right behind the bridge to the island on the right.
Guarding the prisoners was part of the job of the gatekeeper, who was both court usher and prison guard.

The dilapidated building was demolished and rebuilt here in 1836. It was used as a prison until 1927. After the renovation in 1985, the building serves as a gallery and café with changing exhibitions. The gallery owner Gerd Uhlig has been responsible for running the gallery and providing artistic support since 2011.

Experience gastronomy is offered at a historic location in the castle prison. The "jail meal" under the strict supervision of the prison guard and the Sunday brunch deserve special mention.

Rantzauer See Nature Path

The advertised beautiful trail is on my "Rantzauer See with Sand and Shrub Path" tour. The tour was beautiful and somewhat strenuous.

Forest path south of the Himmelmoor

I passed through there on September 8, 1925, on my "Bevern and Hemdingen" tour.
This tour features many beautiful forest paths.
