Fish Ponds in Naturpark Holsteinische Schweiz

Highlight • Lake

Like a string of pearls, more than two dozen fish ponds lie along the lake's shore. The ponds are protected from hungry herons with nets.

Willow Path and Wooden Bridges, Naturpark Holsteinische Schweiz

Highlight • Trail

This small but very useful wooden bridge leads the well-kept natural grass path over a water feature. Very beautiful and idyllic area. I like it very much.

View of the Schmalensee

Highlight • Lake

From this beautiful single trail, which leads over mown lawns, you have a lovely view of the lake. A short distance further on is a spacious swimming area.

View of the Schmalensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

There's a spacious picnic area here. However, the lake is quite a distance away, so the view isn't particularly impressive.

October 9, 2022,Bornhöveder See - Schmalensee - Alte Schwentine

The distance was approx. +500m, because I had to restart the recording again 🙁 Really a nice lap, very varied, which unfortunately also means that you sometimes walk along the road. But it is narrow and not very busy and it is still scenic 😍

Today we headed out into nature to Lake Bornhöved and Lake Schmalen. They're great for walking around together.
There were very few people on the trail today, so we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet and the cuckoo, which kept calling its lovely song.
And the people we met all greeted us warmly. That's not always the case …

Nice shady round. The start and finish was the only electric charging station in the vicinity. We used the loading time for this hike 😊

After work, go for a new-to-me running tour to take advantage of the sun. The way led me mostly over tar or concrete slabs.
: ((A praiseworthy exception is the beautiful grass hiking trail on the east side of the Schmalensee. Overall, however, this tour is not worth repeating for me (with a strong preference for nature trails).
