The Dieksee promenade takes you from the Malente Wildlife Park to the Diekseeholm forest. The Dieksee promenade runs along the western shore of the 368-hectare Dieksee lake. Here you will find many of Malente's hotels, guesthouses, and health clinics. Redesigned in 2007, the promenade consists partly of paved stone slabs and partly of hard-packed sand. During the construction work, a floating pontoon for events was installed near the pier for the 5-Lakes Cruise and Kellersee Cruise. An additional wooden walkway was also added to the promenade. Terraced platforms have been integrated along the embankment, offering a particularly beautiful view of the Dieksee.

Real water lovers never get enough of the cool water. In Malente, in the middle of the Holstein Switzerland holiday region, you can experience water sports in all their variety. If you like cycling, you could, for example, set off on the Dieksee in a pedal boat. In the calm waters of the lake district, even beginners can try diving and learn easily. The Schwentine, with its romantically overgrown banks and pretty villas, is ideal for trying stand-up paddling in a beautiful setting with its shallow waters. These and many other refreshing activities are - just like the water in Malente - often just a few minutes away.
