The Dieksee promenade takes you from the Malente Wildlife Park to the Diekseeholm forest. The Dieksee promenade runs along the western shore of the 368-hectare Dieksee lake. Here you will find many of Malente's hotels, guesthouses, and health clinics. Redesigned in 2007, the promenade consists partly of paved stone slabs and partly of hard-packed sand. During the construction work, a floating pontoon for events was installed near the pier for the 5-Lakes Cruise and Kellersee Cruise. An additional wooden walkway was also added to the promenade. Terraced platforms have been integrated along the embankment, offering a particularly beautiful view of the Dieksee.

Ponds located in the Diekseeholm forest area, which were formerly used for fish farming. These natural attractions in Malente were created in 1869 for the breeding of noble fish. The ponds are fed by fresh spring water from the "Diekseeholm" forest area. They are connected to each other by small streams and channels. The ponds get their name because the surrounding trees are particularly beautifully reflected in the calm, smooth water. In the immediate vicinity of the Spiegelteiche (Mirror Ponds) is one of Malente's Kneipp facilities: a natural water treading pool and an arm-kneading pool.

An 8.59 km long circular route with gentle inclines and many small and large highlights Classic circular route around the Great Eutin Lake, partly directly along the shore or in the forest on natural paths with numerous views of Eutin. There are benches along the circular route that invite you to rest. Highlights include the views of the lake, Eutin Castle and the castle garden (it is also worth taking a detour to the historic and lovingly landscaped kitchen garden), the historic bathing establishment and the mini golf course. The old town with the market square, the tourist information office and other sights are just a few minutes' walk from the castle.

Kneipp pool at the Spiegelteichen Since 1955, when Malente was appointed a Kneipp spa town, the Spiegelteichen have been used for water applications according to Sebastian Kneipp. As the constantly flowing, fresh, and cool water is well-suited for this, there is still a water-treading pool and an arm-kneading pool here today.
