A view of a lake can certainly be considered a highlight, but it should be noted that this view is from elevated asphalt.

Great that you can catch a glimpse of the lake again and again, that's not the case so often with all lake circumnavigations.

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Catherine's Church in Westensee is under the patronage of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The fieldstone building dates mainly from the first half of the 13th century. The Gothic choir and the massive brick west tower were added later. Burial chapels for local nobles have been added to the north and east sides. Inside is the epitaph of Daniel von Rantzau, the oldest Renaissance work of art in Schleswig-Holstein. The church was extensively restored at the beginning of 2025.
