Old Kühren Watermill

Highlight • Monument

This late medieval watermill is situated in the middle of the nature reserve Kueener ponds on the reed-lined, dammed-up mill pond.
The water mill of the Gut Kuten was first mentioned in 1435 in a sales contract between the Preetz Monastery and the miller Wolmar Rantzow, the owner of the Gut Kühren.
This mill was shut down in 1928. The medium-sized water wheel was removed in 1978 and replaced by a dummy.
The one-story building in the living area and two-story in the mill section as a half-timbered building with thatched roof and half-timbered gable is used privately today.
The dismantling of the mill wheel and the changes to the mill house are very regrettable, as this mill represented the state of medieval manors like no other.

The nature reserve "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" comprises 207 hectares of water surface, reed beds, extensive pastureland, quarries, birch and beech forests. Part of the area is extensively grazed by Galloway cattle in order to ensure the survival of the "fragrant primrose" Primula veris.

Bench with a View of Lanker Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have some of the best views of the southern shore of Lake Lanker and also of Sonneninsel (Sun Island). Sonneninsel is the largest island in the southern part of the lake and the only one that was already marked on the 1877 land survey map. It is wooded and a private nature reserve.

The Schwentine is one of the longest rivers in Schleswig-Holstein at 68 km[3]. It rises 1.7 km southwest of the highest point in the state, the Bungsberg, on a spring meadow northeast of the village of Bergfeld (Kasseedorf) and flows through the entire Holstein Switzerland with numerous large lakes. The river flows through the towns of Eutin, Bad Malente, Plön, Preetz, Schwentinental (Raisdorf and Klausdorf) and flows into the Kiel Fjord (Baltic Sea) in Kiel between the districts of Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf and Wellingdorf.

Wahlstorf Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

Oldest estate in Schleswig-Holstein
“The Wahlstorf estate is a unique oasis where the Orient and the Occident meet in magical nature.”
The Wahlstorf estate, located in the beautiful Holstein Switzerland, is one of the oldest in Schleswig-Holstein and a rare, well-preserved example of an estate from the 16th century. With its late medieval architectural style, it is of architectural significance. The listed estate now includes the manor house, three historic barns and a horse stable. The explorer, ornithologist, zoologist, film producer, painter and writer Victor Baron von Plessen (1900-1980) lived here, who set off on numerous expeditions to the Malay Archipelago from 1924 to 1938. The Wahlstorf estate, the inventory and the East Asian collection of Victor Baron von Plessen are now owned by the Plessen Foundation Wahlstorf. The agricultural operation of approximately 900 hectares is managed by the Foundation
