View of the Plötscher See

Highlight • Viewpoint

Above Lake Plötsch, an idyllic rest area with a bench and table invites you to linger. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the approximately eight-hectare, up to twelve-meter-deep lake. To the north lies Lake Garrensee, and to the south lies the Schwarze Kuhle. A peaceful circular path leads around the clear waters.

Garrensee West Shore Swimming Area

Highlight • Beach

A picturesque, free swimming spot on the western shore of Lake Garrensee, with a sandy beach and clear, clean water that's low in lime and nutrients. Opposite on the eastern shore are two other small, very beautiful swimming spots. From here, you also have fantastic views of the lake. It's great that such free swimming spots still exist these days.

Unfortunately, today was my last hike in this great area 🙁 But I'll definitely be back - the Duchy of Lauenburg district is really worth a trip!
