There's a drinking water dispenser here. It's made of stainless steel; you could walk right past it. It was very useful today...

The route is not designed as a cycling route, and bicycles are prohibited in some areas. The majority of it is open only to bicycles, not e-bikes.

Highlights of the hike: • Natural paths: Mostly gravel or well-paved paths with a beautiful view of the lake. • Swimming areas & rest areas: Several places invite you to linger, have a picnic or, in summer, swim. • Margarethenschanze: A historic rampart fortress from the 8th/9th century on the western shore. • Bird watching: Many water birds can be spotted, especially in the morning hours.

January 25, 2025, Sieversdorf Bridge

The Kirchbarkau - Preetz - Lütjenburg (KPL) narrow-gauge railway, founded in 1908, connected rural towns in the region from 1910 onwards over a distance of 41.1 kilometres with 23 stops and was used primarily for freight transport, for example for agricultural products. Despite good infrastructure and regular transport, it was not economically viable, so passenger transport was initially discontinued and then all operations were discontinued in 1938. The line was dismantled, but relics such as the Schwentine Bridge remind us of this short but significant era in regional transport history.
