The best cycling routes around Borgdorfer Lake

At the corner of Wasbeker Straße/Hauptstraße there is a very beautifully laid out cycle rest stop with seating (not covered), a snack machine & repair & air pump station.

Near the swimming pool, some chairs invite you to enjoy the view over the lake.

Here's a shady spot under an oak tree for a break at the table. The view over the fields is unobstructed, and you can conveniently dispose of your trash right there.

A multi-generational space is being built in Nortorf's city park. The park also has a tennis court. From there you can get to the Bellerbek nature reserve and the swing golf course at the Landhotel Möllnhagen/Schülp.

This beautifully painted house facade is located on the main street of Timmaspe and is most easily visible coming from Gnutz/Nortorf. 🚲

Great asphalt route through the forest

The Borgdorfer See is particularly popular with children. They will find great opportunities to really let off steam here. There is a football pitch, a beach volleyball court and a bouncy cushion. In the water, slides, a pontoon and many water figures ensure great fun. Of course, there is also a kiosk for those who are a little hungry. Parents have a good view of their children from the small terrace. In addition, the bathing area at the Borgdorfer See is partially guarded by the DLRG. You will find the Borgdorfer See near the town of Nortorf. An absolutely family-friendly bathing area in terms of entrance and kiosk prices. https://www.tourismus-naturpark-westensee.de/freizeit/badeseen

German Record Museum - Where the sound came into the groove.... Everything here revolves around the world of music - from the manufacturing process of a record to the more than 100-year history of sound recordings. The museum is housed in the historic boiler house of TELDEC, the only surviving building from the time when the company that merged from Telefunken and Decca was Nortorf's largest employer. Even back then, Nortorf was called "The City of the Record". No fewer than 850 million shellac and later vinyl records were pressed in the production halls by 1987, including musical treasures from musical legends such as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, Elvis Presley and Udo Lindenberg. The old factory clock in the shape of a record, now visible from afar and now on the facade of the German Record Museum, is also a reminder of the old days. An unusually varied exhibition awaits you inside. The centerpiece is around 200,000 records, mainly from donations from the NDR record archives in Kiel and Hamburg. In addition, there are lots of exciting exhibits on the two floors and on the gallery: from the old, heavy pressing machines to rare pickups such as the Edison phonograph, iconic jukeboxes and the most modern music system. Many people will probably come across good old friends from their own youth here, such as the small portable transistor radio or even the mobile record player for the beach. Various films provide clear information about the production process of records. And if you feel like it, you can even sit on high bar stools at a 1950s counter like in the old days and immerse yourself in the music with handheld headphones. Changing exhibitions, various events and a museum shop round off the offering of our barrier-free, modern museum. Free parking for visitors is available right next to the museum entrance, additional parking spaces are available at the town hall of Nortorf. https://museum-nortorf.de/
