Riding through the forest 🌳 on a road bike is definitely not recommended. Gravel biking, cycling, running, and hiking are great options. 👍🏻

This spot along the coast is great for gazing across the water to the opposite shore, watching the sailboats drift by on this historic and beautiful border.

Lake Niehuuser – also called Niehuussee – is located in the municipality of Harrislee in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, directly on the German-Danish border between Niehuus and Padborg. Nestled in a charming natural landscape, it is a beautiful local recreation destination and invites you to take leisurely walks around the water. The lake is part of the cross-border Krusau Tunnel Valley, a gently rolling landscape with damp valley floors, springs, and alder swamp forests that stretches along the border river Krusau. Accordingly, the area is part of a FFH conservation area and therefore enjoys a high ecological protection status. Visitors can enjoy pleasant hiking and circular trails – such as a 5.6 km route around the lake, which can also be found as a circular hike on platforms such as RouteYou. The western side of the lake already marks the border with Denmark, giving the walk a particularly charming, border-oriented perspective. The lake is particularly popular with photographers – it is considered an atmospheric subject, especially in the evening with its charming light. Furthermore, the ASV Petri Heil Flensburg is committed to accessibility: a barrier-free jetty was recently built, making access to the water easier.
