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.

On the mirror-like surface of the lake, the shadows of the trees danced, while on the opposite shore, the first lights of the houses twinkled like tiny stars. A rowboat, moored all day, rocked almost imperceptibly. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the Dieksee became the perfect place to let the day end in peaceful serenity.

Lake Behler lies between the town of Plön and the village of Timmdorf in the heart of the Holstein Switzerland region. Like many other lakes, it is fed by the Schwentine River and is directly connected to Lake Langensee and Lake Höftsee. It is surrounded by Lake Schösee, Lake Schluensee, Lake Dieksee, and Lake Suhrer See. It covers an area of 227 hectares and has a maximum depth of 43 meters. Fishing is currently prohibited. There is a bathing area on the edge of Timmdorf, where the shore is very shallow, and there is a sunbathing lawn at the edge of the woods and a restroom.

The only fully functional of the three windmills within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park is located in Ascheberg-Langenrade. The windmill, named "Sventana," was built in 1860 in Kleinmühlen near Plön. It has stood in Ascheberg only since 1890, replacing a predecessor that burned down. In 1982, three couples with a passion for windmills decided to restore it to working order. After considerable financial investment and many hours of labor, the single-story smock mill has been operational and flying again since 1990. The restoration of the mill's sails was financially supported, among other things, by state funds for nature parks.
