Cycling

Did you know that the Great Plön Lake is the largest body of water in Schleswig-Holstein? The approximately 37-kilometer-long route takes you around the beautiful lake and right through the picturesque landscape of Holstein Switzerland.

From Plön, the tour takes you along picturesque riverside paths, through idyllic places such as Bosau, Dersau or Ascheberg and past wide fields and meadows. You often cycle away from traffic, so you can relax and enjoy nature while immersing yourself in the life and culture of the region. Perfect for a break in the saddle!

Your tour is rounded off by the beautiful places to stop for a break with their culinary temptations that lure you away from the path. How about a homemade cake in the old castle gardens of Plön Castle? Or a fish sandwich to go in one of the fish smokehouses? But just let yourself be surprised: whether it's a restaurant, bistro or café - the friendly hosts will spoil you to the best of their ability.

Lasner Fishery and Smokehouse on Lake Großer Plöner

Highlight • Restaurant

The traditional family company directly on the Großer Plöner See offers fresh fish from its own catch and smoked fish from its own smokehouse, which now consists of six Altona ovens. It is smoked exclusively from local alder wood, whose mild aroma underlines the fine fish taste.
The smoked silver whitefish is a delicacy for only a short time in the summer season.
In the small shop there are many delicacies for freshly smoked fish every day: fish rolls, fish cakes, eel in aspic, various salads, smoked eggs and shrimps - all made with love.
There's also fresh fish to roast or grill yourself,
Moorings for sailors and canoeists, issuing of fishing licenses and whoever wants: Always a nice chat with the fisherman.

Sterin Island (Großer Plöner See)

Highlight • Lake

In Plön and the surrounding area, there are cormorant colonies that sometimes cause damage to vegetation and fisheries. The island of Sterin in the Great Plön Lake is a well-known example of the destructive effect of cormorant droppings, which virtually destroy vegetation. There was also a cormorant colony on an island in Lake Selent, which was later abandoned and subsequently recovered.

June 16, 2024,PedTour 372 Rund um den Plöner-See (mit Prinzeninsel)

I decided on the spur of the moment to do another lap around the large Plön Lake.

Uploaded the GPX file, adjusted it in komoot, changed direction and saddled up the chickens.

I remembered riding via Plön back then, but now I'm doing the lap via Ascheberg. Hardly anything has changed.

I did the tour today with my brother could have been a little warmer, but otherwise it was a very nice bike tour, very hilly, no Dithmarschen

The tour around Schleswig-Holstein's largest lake starts from Plön, Bosau, Dersau or Ascheberg.
The tour around the Great Plön Lake is our ultimate tour - it goes around the largest lake in the country for almost 40 km. The tour runs along beautiful shore paths, through pretty villages and wide fields and meadows. We recommend the towns of Plön, Bosau …

So, finally, vacation. Our destination is Holstein Switzerland. After an endless drive, we finally arrived in Ascheberg/Plön. We immediately hopped on our bikes and set off. We cycled around the large Plön Lake. As a Black Forest native, I have to say, it's also very beautiful here and ☝️there are actually hills 🤣. Then we checked in and immediately had …

Beautiful piece of earth, the Plöner See. You need 7-8 courses and a bit of stamina. Easy to manage with children from 10 years of age if there's an ice cream in between 😅! Greetings, Udo

A complete lap around Lake Plön. But you don't get to be by the water that often. Most of the time on side paths in the forest

Start and finish: Ferry house Niederkleveez am Dieksee. We couldn't have chosen better, because after the tour we could eat delicious here. (Booking a table in advance makes sense). Long tour around the Plöner See (unfortunately due to the approaching rainy weather without a city tour) and then past memories: former 5 lakes barracks in Plön. Absolutely little traffic and …

It was a nice lap, not overcrowded due to the weather and easy to drive. A bit of traffic on the main roads and too few opportunities to drive directly on the lake 🤔 ..... in Bosau there is a nice parking lot, still free 🚙 .... so, have fun 🚴🌼🌤️🌾🐄🌳🕸️👍🏻

From Plön, the tour takes you along picturesque riverside paths

Overall, the route isn't bad, but I imagined it would be nicer.
﻿
Why?
﻿
1. You can't see the lake at all for most sections of the route because the path is too far away from it, through the forest or residential area.
﻿
2. Very long sections run over coarse/hard gravel (see path condition), which is quite bumpy
