Dieksee nestles to the west of Malente and is a good starting point for excursions in the region.

The Dieksee is located west of Malente, is about 386 hectares in size and is crossed from east to west by the Schwentine, which also feeds it. In addition to Malente, the towns of Timmdorf and Niederkleveez are also located on the lake. The Dieksee promenade winds along the shore in Malente, inviting holidaymakers to take leisurely strolls. Numerous hotels and health clinics line up here and offer a fantastic view of the water and the Dieksee islands of Langenwarder and Gremswarder. Active holidaymakers also get their money's worth at Dieksee, as there are a variety of sporting activities in, on and by the water.

View of the Dieksee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Dieksee is the easternmost pearl of the chain of lakes between Plön and Malente-Gremsmühlen. From here, the river "Schwentine" flows into the Langensee near Timmdorf, then into the Behler See, Höftsee and Edebergsee. A route that is also popular with excursion boats. This waterway, like the entire eastern hilly region of Schleswig-Holstein, was created by the action of the ice masses of the last ice age 10,000 years ago. A tongue of ice pushed forward from the north, hollowed out the ground and pushed it up at the edges. This created a so-called tongue basin - the original form of the later Dieksee. The adjacent lakes were formed from a channel lake that was formed by the force of the meltwater flowing away. The Dieksee is around 386 hectares in size, up to 38 meters deep and is nestled between the towns of Malente,

Spiegelteiche at Lake Dieksee

Highlight • Lake

The mirror ponds are located at the end of the Dieksee promenade in the forest area "Holm" in the immediate vicinity of the Dieksee. They got their name from the reflection of the trees in the calm and smooth water.
The mirror ponds were created on behalf of the Oldenburg Grand Duke Nikolaus Friedrich Peter, who wanted to breed noble fish here. For this purpose he set up a fish farm in the spring-rich area in 1869. The fish were raised in brooders and small fish ponds through which fresh spring water from the “Holm” forest area flowed. The fish should stay in these ponds connected by gullies and small streams until they were big enough to be transferred to the nearby Dieksee.

Mirror Ponds and Kneipp Pool, Malente

Highlight • Lake

The mirror ponds are located directly above the Dieksee. The hiking trail runs between Dieksee and the mirror ponds. Originally laid out in the 19th century as fish breeding ponds, some of the mirror ponds are used as Kneipp basins. As it is fresh spring water, it is actually surprisingly cold. Depending on the season, you can then easily descend the few steps to the lake and warm up your feet in the lake. Since the mirror ponds are very protected, the water surface is literally smooth as a mirror.

April 18, 2025,Seit langer Zeit mal wieder um den Dieksee 🏃‍♀️🌳🐰😊

What do you do on a dreary and rather chilly Good Friday 🤔... Either the couch or exercise first and then enjoy the couch 😉.
So I decided to finally walk around Lake Dieksee again. Since things are "going well" at the moment 😉, I thought it would finally be possible again!
And yes, it was really beautiful 😍, my …
