Top 20 Lakes around Bornhöved

The tour around Schleswig-Holstein's largest lake starts in Plön, Bosau, Dersau, or Ascheberg. The tour around the Great Plön Lake is our ultimate tour – it's almost 40 km long and takes you all the way around the state's largest lake. The tour runs along beautiful lakeside paths, through pretty villages, and across vast fields and meadows. We recommend stopping in the towns of Plön, Bosau, or Dersau; here, wonderful lakeside terraces invite you to take a well-deserved break. If you're traveling with children or are caught off guard by a sudden change in the weather, you can also shorten the route by boarding a boat with your bikes between Plön and Bosau.

The Great Plön Lake Tour takes you to almost all the places on the Great Plön Lake. The approximately two-hour tour on the double-decker boat "Holstein Switzerland" starts at the Fegetasche pier on Strandweg in Plön. From there, the tour continues into Plön's town bay, where you have a stunning view of Plön Castle, which sits almost directly on the shore on the Schlossberg hill. The tour continues towards Princes' Island and finally to the smaller towns of Ascheberg and Dersau, until the "Holstein Switzerland" returns to its "home port" at Fegetasche. Timetable and Fares The piers in Ascheberg and Dersau are not served. Information on current conditions and timetables can be found on the motor boat company's website.
