Fish Ponds in Naturpark Holsteinische Schweiz

Highlight • Lake

Like a string of pearls, more than two dozen fish ponds lie along the lake's shore. The ponds are protected from hungry herons with nets.

Willow Path and Wooden Bridges, Naturpark Holsteinische Schweiz

Highlight • Trail

This small but very useful wooden bridge leads the well-kept natural grass path over a water feature. Very beautiful and idyllic area. I like it very much.

View of the Schmalensee

From this beautiful single trail, which leads over mown lawns, you have a lovely view of the lake. A short distance further on is a spacious swimming area.

May 2, 2023,HS / Runde von Bornhöved um den Schmalensee 😃

Did a round today that was already available on the net in a similar form. Unfortunately, I can't remember who put them in. A beautiful tour through a beautiful landscape, often accompanied by a view of the lakes or the hilly landscape with the fresh spring green. The ground is mostly gravel or concrete slabs, but that's not annoying. A …

I got up early because I really wanted to go for a spin and still be back early for the barbecue.
Since this tour had been in the drawer for a long time, today was a perfect fit. Clear advantage of the early start: the paths are deserted and you can let your mind wander 👍.
The fish ponds are …

After work, go for a new-to-me running tour to take advantage of the sun. The way led me mostly over tar or concrete slabs.
: ((A praiseworthy exception is the beautiful grass hiking trail on the east side of the Schmalensee. Overall, however, this tour is not worth repeating for me (with a strong preference for nature trails).

Next trip around the lake ticked off my list. Unfortunately the small brewery cellar wasn't open. Otherwise a nice, entertaining tour.

May 6, 2025,Bornhöveder See - Schmalensee

Today we headed out into nature to Lake Bornhöved and Lake Schmalen. They're great for walking around together.
There were very few people on the trail today, so we were able to enjoy the peace and quiet and the cuckoo, which kept calling its lovely song.
And the people we met all greeted us warmly. That's not always the case …
