Vossenpott Pond on the Schwentine River

Highlight • Lake

The Vossenpott used to bathe even earlier. Today it is a retreat area for animals, when on the Schwentine the inmates of many rental boats are out loud again.

The lake was created as a reservoir in 1908 during the construction of the Schwentine hydroelectric power plants by shipyard founder Bernhard Howaldt and is now a fundamental part of the Schwentine Landscape Park. To create the reservoir, Bernhard Howaldt had to purchase land along the Schwentine River as far as the lands of Count Christian zu Rantzau (Rastorf Estate) and Preetz Monastery. The price per hectare at the time was approximately 2,000 marks. Raisdorf was first supplied with electricity in 1904 by the Raisdorf 1 hydroelectric power plant at the Rastorfer Mill. The Raisdorf 2 hydroelectric power plant followed in 1909. The power plants are now listed as historical monuments and are operated and maintained by Kiel's municipal utilities.

August 19, 2024,Altarm der Schwentine – Weiße Brücke Rosenfeld Runde von Preetz

We actually wanted to do a longer circuit but we were a bit late. And everywhere there is something to see and reason to stop. The paths along the water are not really suitable for fast riding either. So we limited ourselves to the routes near the river.
Nice
