View of Mönchsteich from the east shore

Highlight • Viewpoint

You walk along the road for a bit, but then it's back to the banks of the Mönchteich, a great way!

Entrance to Mönchsteich Trail

Highlight • Trail

When you walk along the bike path you only see a locked gate. But to the left of it is a passage to the hiking trail at Mönchsteich.

March 16, 2025,Rund um den Mönchsteich in Lütjensee

A beautiful, very quiet tour through a forest. Not suitable for strollers, as it's partly boggy, with many trees crossing the (partially) barely visible path and lots of roots. Great for dog walks.

April 30, 2023,Moorig – Mönchsteich Runde von Lütjensee

Beautiful hike with great views. Mainly on small forest paths along the water.
Danger! At the specified start of the hike, the parking situation is now very difficult. No parking anywhere and it is also written down.

Nice tour around the Mönchsteich, through the forest. Some paths are not always easy to find, but thanks to the good maps from Komoot, they are easy to follow.

Around the Mönchsteich there is always an ideal dog walk with a few small bathing spots. Mäxchen was happy and even did a few swimming exercises today.🙂

Mäxchen is not a water dog, but if you throw sticks into the water, he will happily fetch them back and here at the Mönchsteich there are a few small bathing bays where he can also practice swimming. We were almost completely alone here today.😉

July 28, 2024,Mönchsteichrunde mit Abstecher zum Großensee

Inspired by JR56, who did the round the day before yesterday, we set off today. We didn't know Mönchsteich yet. Very beautiful despite a heavy shower in the middle. Quite muddy on the south side, best not to wear the newest shoes... No mosquitoes today 👍🏻

June 4, 2022,Schwimmen lernen im Mönchsteich 4.6.22

At the Mönchsteich there are a few small free bathing spots where four-legged friends can cool off in the clean water.
Today, Mäxchen showed us that he can swim properly. He kept throwing the stick a little further out into the water until he could no longer stand and practically started to swim by himself. We will definitely continue to …
