Abandoned rehab and hotel grounds. Some buildings still stand, but vegetation is spreading again.

The hunting lodge (1776) is fantastically located above the lake and has been fundamentally renovated in recent months - which visually gives it a somewhat modern touch (especially due to the new bricks)

Such lost places evoke ambivalent feelings. It's a pity that the terrain here is not used meaningfully, eerily beautiful to invent stories about the circumstances and food for thought: How do we want to shape and revitalize tourist regions in the future?

Covered is sometimes not so bad and a resting place anyway.

The path leads beautifully along Lake Eutin... lovely views of the lake open up every now and then.

A very beautiful path along the Schwentine river... here the Schwentine connects the Kellersee lake with the Fissau bay... magnificent scenery

The rest area is located right by the lake, but unfortunately, thanks to the trees, there is very little view of the lake...
