April 19, 2025,Prinzeninsel & Plön 🌧️🏰🌧️
A beautiful hike from the Spitzenort nature campsite around the Prince's Island with a detour through Plön.
We actually wanted to set off by car, but because of the rain, we decided to hike. A very worthwhile decision. The paths and trails are good for walking. It goes through the forest and along the water. We briefly passed the Cadet …

From Plön city center we went on a hike to the tip of the Princes' Island on Lake Plön. The ☀️ accompanied us the whole way and my cheeks turned red despite the sunscreen. From the market square we went to Plön Town Hall, up to Plön Castle, down to Marstal, Clock House, the Princes' House and through the large …

I'll be brief today and let the pictures speak for themselves: a fabulous day in Plön and on Prinzeninsel 🤩 is drawing to a close. And nobody had to cook at home today either👍⭕🎛
There was so much to be amazed and to discover that I can't get by with a handful of pictures🙈
The Parki directly on the market …

Approx. 2 km long and only 30 m wide in some places, the Prinzeninsel offers a lot of water from all sides. There was no water on one side, but large amounts of water fell on our heads from above☔🌧.
At the southern …

The journey was already exciting when the world sank in the fog shortly after Preetz 😱.
I've never been to Prince's Island... at least I think so... maybe when I was little 🤔, but then I forgot.
The fact that the sunrise 🌅 was tolerated (thanks to the impenetrable clouds) until I reached the southern tip was pure coincidence, or …

Today it was all about the castle in Plön and the weather also played along 🌤
Due to the many impressions, there were a few more pictures today 😬

Just go for a spin on a wonderful, typical summer Sunday where Kaiser's children learned to farm and swim a little more than 100 years ago. Too beautiful!
