Beautiful, curved bridge over the railway line. It's just a shame that you have to carry your bike up and down here. Or you can easily take a long detour. Everyone the way he likes it

August 19, 2021,Lanker See Wanderung

Nice hike. However, the path around the riding stables should be taken. Unfortunately also followed by bad luck, as both stops in Wahlstorf for a coffee - due to a lack of staff and unclear at the other - had to be

Thanks to the wind, there were few people out and about 🤩
Always wonderful views of and from the water, forest, meadows, ponds and Schwentine 👌🏻

September 5, 2021,NSG Lanker See inkl. Kührener Teich, "Schusteracht", Schwentine, loop*

All in all, a varied round, which even offers a nice bathing opportunity at the end. Since the route coincides for many kilometers with the "Schusteracht" (south loop), you will meet more and more cyclists. After all, there are at least three segments that cannot be taken by bike! : D (To name them: small steep shortcut Vogelsang / Mühlenberg, …

May 16, 2026,Nord-Marsch Preetz 2026 - Iron Lake Challenge "Schleswig-Holstein" - See-Nr. 11: Lanker See

For my 3rd participation in a Nord-Marsch event, I didn't choose the longest offered route of the "8-Seen-Marsch Preetz", but only the 16 km march around the Lanker See. This lake counts for my "Schleswig-Holstein" Iron Lake Challenge and ranks 11th there.

December 3, 2023,Winterrunde um den Lanker See

I actually love this tour around Lake Lanker, but in these impassable conditions with snow, ice, cold (-3 degrees) and gray monochrome, I only enjoyed it moderately. Maybe I could get more out of this winter tour with appropriate clothing.

April 6, 2025,Runde um den Lanker See

Today I set off before breakfast and walked around Lake Lanker. You don't walk directly along the lake, but there are so many small lakes along the edge that it's like a lake landscape of its own 😊 I'd say it was once again 95% nature and very little road.
Highly recommended.

October 31, 2021,Herbstrunde um den Lanker See

I had an appointment to run with a friend who mainly runs on asphalt, and I was supposed to choose a route "also through nature". On the spur of the moment, I chose this well-known tour: visually appealing and varied! In fact, she really enjoyed this tour too. yay! : D So you can enjoy the beautiful weather.
