March 16, 2026, Lounge Chair at Fegetasche, Plön Lake

At the Fegetasche bathing area in Plön, visitors have access to special lounge chairs that have been permanently installed by the town. However, there is no traditional rental service for mobile sun loungers (like on the Baltic Sea coast).

I'd only ever seen painted cows like these at numerous Swiss locations... lovely to see the two of them frolicking in front of the Dieksee promenade.

A lovely rest area at the narrow point between Höftsee and Behler See... Just sit down and let nature work its magic.

The path is used by walkers, cyclists, and dog walkers. If everyone is careful, there are no problems.

Swimming area on the Großer Plöner See (Great Plön Lake) with a sandy beach, playground, and sunbathing lawn. The long, sandy beach is the ideal swimming spot for families. A sunbathing lawn, benches, a hammock, a slide, mini-golf, and a small playground invite you to linger. The water is gently sloping and marked with a non-swimmer's boundary. Shady spots and a jetty into the water are available, as are changing facilities and restrooms.
