On the mirror-like surface of the lake, the shadows of the trees danced, while on the opposite shore, the first lights of the houses twinkled like tiny stars. A rowboat, moored all day, rocked almost imperceptibly. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the Dieksee became the perfect place to let the day end in peaceful serenity.

Lake cruises are an experience not only on warm summer days, but also in inclement weather. On our heated boats – some with catering – even the dreariest rainy day can be enjoyed.

The Dieksee promenade takes you from the Malente Wildlife Park to the Diekseeholm forest. The Dieksee promenade runs along the western shore of the 368-hectare Dieksee lake. Here you will find many of Malente's hotels, guesthouses, and health clinics. Redesigned in 2007, the promenade consists partly of paved stone slabs and partly of hard-packed sand. During the construction work, a floating pontoon for events was installed near the pier for the 5-Lakes Cruise and Kellersee Cruise. An additional wooden walkway was also added to the promenade. Terraced platforms have been integrated along the embankment, offering a particularly beautiful view of the Dieksee.

Ponds located in the Diekseeholm forest area, which were formerly used for fish farming. These natural attractions in Malente were created in 1869 for the breeding of noble fish. The ponds are fed by fresh spring water from the "Diekseeholm" forest area. They are connected to each other by small streams and channels. The ponds get their name because the surrounding trees are particularly beautifully reflected in the calm, smooth water. In the immediate vicinity of the Spiegelteiche (Mirror Ponds) is one of Malente's Kneipp facilities: a natural water treading pool and an arm-kneading pool.
