Pure scenery. Whether by bike or on foot, it's currently (May) a stunning landscape. Free access with the D-Ticket. Parking is available. While you're here, be sure to visit the castle gardens around the corner.

The Bebensund Bridge or Seeschaarwald Bridge connects the so-called Seepark of the city of Eutin with the Seeschaarwald and separates the Fissau Bay from the Great Eutin Lake. The Bebensund Bridge was designed by the last Eutin court gardener, Heinrich Lüth, and was built in 1934 as part of the National Socialists' voluntary labor service. It replaced a cable ferry that ran over to the bathing establishment built in 1914. In 2003, the bridge was renovated and, among other things, received a new railing and safety pillars, which were built in the event of a collision with the excursion steamer “Freischütz”, which operates on the Großer Eutiner See. Part of the old pillar construction is still located at this point below the water surface of the lake, which is why jumping from the bridge is officially forbidden. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebensundbr%C3%BCcke
