This small lake with a rest area and information panel is located in the Barkau region. The area formerly belonged to the monastic estate of Ahrensbök Abbey. In 1735, the village of Barkau was able to buy its freedom from serfdom. "Barkau region" is actually a made-up term coined for the association of eleven neighboring municipalities in the area.

Windmill from 1860 One 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. The mill has only been standing in Ascheberg since 1890 as a replacement for a predecessor that had burned down. In 1982, three mill-loving couples decided to get the mill working again. After considerable financial and laborious effort, the single-storey gallery mill has been wind-capable and fully functional again since 1990. The renovation of the mill's wings was financially supported by state funds for nature parks, among other things. The mill and its keepers received the German Prize for Monument Protection in 2012. Since 2019, the Sventana mill has even been recognized as an intangible UNESCO World Heritage Site. The condition for this is that the mill actively produces “marketable flour” and does not just function as a museum. The mill can now grind grain in three different ways
