When lake addiction breaks out in Switzerland

Worth seeing and worth lakes - water is never far away in Holstein Switzerland. Surrounded by, overlooking or within walking distance of one of the many lakes, there is plenty to see. Whether Grebiner Mühle, Bosauer Katengärtchen, Eutin's historic old town, Plöner Schloss, Niederkleveezer Kapelle or a 5-lake trip: Holidaymakers will be addicted to lakes here.

Fertile soils and a right of inheritance that prevented the division of property have preserved the estates that were once generously distributed to loyal followers of the sovereigns. From hunting lodges to manors, guests in Holstein Switzerland will find stately buildings in a natural setting. Not for nothing does the region bear the nickname "Grafenwinkel" (Count's Corner).

Eutin Castle and Plön Castle are two particularly impressive examples. Today, Eutin Castle impresses visitors from all over the world as a museum (residential castle of the dukes) and with special exhibitions. Large-scale ceiling paintings, precious wall coverings, original pieces of furniture, paintings, clocks or furnishings such as three unusual ship models of Tsar Peter the Great can be marvelled at. Today, a restaurant-café enlivens the house, concerts and other events take place in the palace rooms as well as private or company celebrations. Famous guests in the past were Tsarina Catherine the Great, whose mother grew up here and where Catherine first met her future husband, Prince Karl Peter Ulrich von Holstein-Gottorf, as well as the Goethe painter Wilhelm Tischbein and the father of the composer Carl Maria von Weber.

Plön Castle, as we know it today and see it from afar from all approaches by land and water, was built during the Thirty Years' War in the period 1633 - 1636. After a very chequered history, the state sold the historic building to the non-profit Fielmann Academy, which had it restored for three years and trains more than 6000 opticians there every year. Please book tours in advance as places are limited.

150 lakes and gentle hills. The possibilities for active holidaymakers, on the other hand, are unlimited: they can, for example, drive around the largest lake in the state or climb the highest mountain in Schleswig-Holstein. Holstein Switzerland with its gently rolling landscape and many lakes is the perfect setting for cycling and hiking tours, excursions by canoe, sailing boat or excursion boat. For cyclists, the tourism association has worked out 15 tours with GPS data, including the Plönersee route over almost 40 kilometres. It runs along beautiful lakeside paths, through pretty villages and wide fields and meadows. In Plön, Bosau or Dersau, wonderful lakeside terraces invite you to take a well-deserved break. If you are travelling with children, you can shorten the route by taking the boat with the bikes between Plön and Bosau.

We stay on the water - the element of Holstein Switzerland with more than 150 small and large lakes. When guests are actively on the water in a canoe or sailing boat, they will experience that everything is a little different on the water. The air smells different, the sounds are more muffled, the sense of distance fades, thoughts just start to circle ... they too become addicted to lakes. For some years now, divers have also been getting their money's worth - in large parts of the Großer Plöner See they are allowed to dive into the depths. A diving area of 650 hectares with an average visibility of twelve and diving depths of up to 58 metres make divers' hearts beat faster. There is a lot of traffic on the Great Plöner Lake, with the large ships of the Plöner Seerundfahrt (Lake Tour), sailing boats cruising and canoes on the water. For this reason, entry is only permitted at certain entry points, and the person authorised to exercise fishing rights must be informed before each dive.

For the more active, there are also opportunities for Nordic walking, golf, fishing, horse riding, swimming and wellness. Fun and games are combined with beach volleyball, mini-golf, boules, bowling alleys and playgrounds. But the ever-growing number of motorbike freaks has also been catered for. The hilly landscape of Holstein Switzerland, rich in lakes and forests, is ideal for bike tours. Surprising views, idyllic forests, historic villages or a detour to the Baltic Sea - variety is guaranteed on these tours.

To round off a stay in this holiday region, you could visit one of the cultural events: Exciting events from jazz festivals to garden readings, from open-air operas to mill festivals enliven the towns, villages, buildings and landscapes of the region. Is there anything missing? Oh yes, accommodation. Holiday flat or holiday home, it makes no difference in Holstein Switzerland. Both types are offered in a wide variety of forms - with or without a lake view, for one night or for a holiday, with one bedroom or, for families or groups, with several bedrooms.
