The best road cycling routes around Kasseedorf

The windmill is privately owned and therefore cannot be visited. Access is unfortunately forbidden.

The mill wheel of the old watermill “Gremsmühle” in the Schwentine river gives its name and is the landmark of the Malente district of Gremsmühlen.

Good asphalt and relatively little traffic outside of rush hour. The mandatory cycle/pedestrian path has many confusing sections with sharp corners; it's only suitable for use towards Schönwalde (uphill). It's downhill towards Kasseedorf, and you can easily travel 50-60 km/h on the road.

View over the Kellersee. With fast food (in season?) and lots of benches. 🦆🦢🦢🦆🦆🐸

Next to the Elisabeth Tower is the 179 m high Bungsberg radio tower, which was built between 1975 and 1977. From the tower's free-to-access observation platform at a height of 40 m, you can see large parts of Schleswig-Holstein as well as parts of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and the Baltic Sea in good visibility conditions.

The Palm House Café is a self-service café. The pieces of cake are not cheap, but they are huge and damn tasty! There are places to sit in the café or in the former orangery in the form of a winter garden, or simply outside at many tables. In addition to hot drinks, there are also cold drinks, ice cream and Bockwurst. Adjacent is the estate gardening center, which is always open together with the café. The gardening center grounds can also be explored without buying anything. In addition to the usual sales shelves and greenhouses, there is also a sculpture park on the site. These can of course also be purchased. Part of the gardens are generally freely accessible. However, this part is poorly maintained and partly overgrown. What a pity!

The Gremsmühle is one of the oldest mills in Holstein and gives the town of Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen its name. The Gremsmühle is a water-powered grain mill, which gives the town of Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen its name. It is located between Kellersee and Dieksee and is powered by the water of the Schwentine, formerly Gremsau. Due to its favorable location on the water-rich river, the mill has survived for many centuries and is now one of the oldest mills in Holstein. History of the Gremsmühle The history of the mill can be traced back to the year 1280 - a time when there was a real boom in the construction of watermills. Ownership of the mills was reserved for the bishops of Lübeck, who appointed tenants to operate and maintain the mill. The mill business was a lucrative one, because until 1849 the surrounding villages were only allowed to mill their grain in the Gremsmühle (mill obligation). Livestock farming and agriculture were a frequent sideline for the millers. From the 18th century onwards, beer and brandy were also allowed to be produced and sold. In 1832, the miller Olandt founded a grain distillery in the Gremsmühle, which later fell victim to a fire. Several years followed in which the mill was modernised and expanded by changing owners. In 1956, the mill was closed due to a lack of profitability. In the 1980s, the mill wheel was replaced by an immobile dummy. It was not until 2003 that the local heritage and beautification association initiated a project to restore the original mill wheel, which has been turning again since 2006. Next to the mill wheel there is a fish ladder and a roller conveyor for transferring paddle boats. I found this information on the website Malente-Tourismus.de

Great view, in good weather to the Baltic Sea.
