The large, free parking lot on the southern shore of Lütjensee is a good starting point for a tour around the lake and other tours in the surrounding area.

A narrow path leads through this interesting, marshy area... I recommend sturdy, waterproof shoes, especially after prolonged periods of rain.

The Lütjensee in the Stormarn district is around 33 hectares in size and is a popular destination for day trippers who want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind them for a while. From the riverside paths you can enjoy a wide view over the water, which glows in different colors depending on the time of day. The sunsets from this side of the lake are truly spectacular.

The Kranika moorland is located very close to the Lütjensee. It is 96 hectares in size and has been a nature reserve since 1993. Part of the area used to be covered by water, but later moors and wet meadows developed. Today, rare plants such as sundew and orchid grow here. Many animals, including frogs, grass snakes and various bird species, also call this area home. A number of beautiful hiking trails lead along the edges and information boards provide exciting insights.

Beautiful wetland not far from the protected Kranika moorland. Once a large peat mining area, the landscape is now becoming more and more peaceful. Rare amphibians and native snake species find their habitat here.
