December 12, 2024,Unterwegs am Grünen Band-Zarrentin/Kirchensee – Südliches Biosphärenreservat Schaalsee

After the difficult days, we finally managed to pull ourselves together and head out into nature. The Schaalsee and the Kirchensee in Zarrentin offered exactly what we needed: silence, fresh air and a beautiful environment that could heal our souls a little.

January 19, 2025,Zarrentin - Kirchensee

The walk around the Kirchensee in Zarrentin is always beautiful. In the sunny weather I also had a great view over the Schaalsee. The monastery complex never ceases to impress me. The Seecafé serves delicious cakes, but the prices are not bad either.

And again along the Schaalsee, this time from Zarrentin and not on a Werder, but around a small inland lake - the Kirchensee (this time no Küchensee 😅). The landscape is really very nice, but unfortunately the round is quite short. But there is a very nice old church to look at and coffee & cake if you like ☕🥧 …

The weather gods are promising over 20°C for today – I'm not staying home!

I take the train and then the bus to Zarrentin am Schaalsee. A first for me, as until now I've only known the Schaalsee from a distance. Today I have the opportunity to stroll directly along its shore.

July 7, 2024,Wunderschöne Runde: Zarrentin am Schaalsee 🥾📷

Looking for a bit of nature on Sunday, we came across the Schaalsee near Zarrentin. Despite the Neptune Festival, we found an almost empty parking lot and set off on a tour along the lake, then decided on a small circular route (3 km). It was really pleasant walking and where we went, you couldn't even hear the hustle and …

The hike starts at the parking lot at the church and monastery and leads north to the Strangen peninsula to the former end of the patrol path, where there was a border tower. On the way there are relics of buildings along the way, which were demolished in the course of border management. Beautiful views
