Tips from the Community

Michael wandert 🏡
August 16, 2026, St. Marienkirche Sarau

The church originally standing here was a Vicelinkirche, even one of the first in eastern Holstein. A new building was required from 1629 onwards; a (longer) new building was erected on the old foundations. The church was last renovated in 2008. For a former Vicelinkirche, it has an unusual appearance; only the natural stone foundation looks familiar.

The Sarau Church is the church in the village of Sarau – a district of the municipality of Glasau – in the Segeberg district of Schleswig-Holstein. It is located on the western edge of the village, surrounded by the (former) churchyard. Today, it is used by the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Sarau for church services.

You can get from Gnissau to Lebatz or Ahrensbök off the 432 with some great views and without much traffic.

Beach between the Princes' Island in the Great Plön Lake with a sandy beach and DLRG. At the end of the idyllic Princes' Island is the natural beach with a view of the sunset included. As a destination for a day trip or a rest stop, you should not miss the approximately 100 m wide, gently sloping sandy beach. The bathing area can only be reached on foot, by bike or by excursion boat. The bathing area is guarded by the DLRG and has a kiosk, toilet, shower, playground and in summer also a volleyball net. Parking spaces are located on the Ascheberger Chaussee (approx. 2 km to the bathing area).

Bathing area on the Great Plön Lake with a sandy beach, playground and lawn. The long sandy beach is the ideal bathing area for families. Lawns, benches, hammocks, slides, mini golf and a small playground invite you to linger. The entrance is gently sloping and has a non-swimmers' limit. There are shady areas and a jetty into the water, as well as changing facilities and toilets.
