Lakeside boat dock

Highlight • Structure

The wind often dies down in the evening, calming the lake. Its surface becomes mirror-smooth, perfectly reflecting the vibrant colors of the sky. The Schöhsee, described as tranquil and idyllic, enhances this effect of slowing down.

Schöhsee Swimming Area

Highlight • Beach

A swimming spot in Plön on the pristine Schöhsee lake, with a beach, playground, and sunbathing lawn, is ideal for families.

The popular swimming spot on the Schöhsee lake attracts swimmers of all ages every day during the season. A natural wooden and sand staircase leads to the always clean waters of the Schöhsee lake, where you can relax on the spacious sunbathing lawn. 🏄

Schöhsee

Highlight • Lake

A short loop around Lake Schöhsee, where the highlights include beautiful views of Lake Schöhsee, an old beech forest, meadows, and fields framed by hedgerows. If you want to cool off, a detour to the bathing area at Lake Schöhsee is recommended. In the village, the path along Lake Plön leads past a fishing snack bar and a marina. The loop can be extended at will with the Plön Lakes Loop. Perfect for a little active change on a Sunday.

Schöhsee

Highlight • Lake

The Schöhsee is located in the middle of Plön's urban area, nestled between the Trammer See, the Behler See and the Großer Plöner See. It is 78 hectares in size and has a maximum depth of 29.3 m. Due to the lake's low nutrient content and the resulting low algae growth, it is one of the clearest lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. In the summer months, visibility can reach up to 3.5 meters. There are three wooded islands on the lake, called the Kleiner Warder, Mittlerer Warder and Großer Warder. During the winter months, the lake is home to up to 2000 tufted ducks, as well as other bird species. It is also a breeding ground for great crested grebes, kingfishers, oystercatchers and many other water bird species. The Schöhsee can easily be walked around on a designated hiking trail. The circular trail with a great view of the lake is around 5.4 km long and is therefore also suitable for families and beginners.

Seehof (Former Salvation Army Retreat and Conference Center)

Highlight • Rest Area

The SEEHOF has ceased operations
The Christian leisure and day center Seehof ceased operations in Plön at the end of 2017. Unfortunately, the work in the leisure and day center can no longer be continued economically and sustainably for the Salvation Army. With a heavy heart, the management has therefore decided to cease operations and sell the property on Lake Behler, which includes a modern conference and guest house.

We thank you for your interest and wish you God's rich blessing.
