December 7, 2025, Shelter at the West Shore of Bordesholmer See

The shelter is still standing (as of November 25th) and is in good condition. Right next to it is a bathing area with a large meadow and a magnificent view across the lake to the castle.

The Hohburg area is private and you are asked not to enter the footbridge. But you can hike through at any time of the year.
