Hiking

Plön railway station was opened on May 31, 1866, as part of the railway line between Neumünster and Neustadt (Holstein) by the Altona-Kiel Railway Company, which was extended from Eutin to Lübeck in 1873 by the Eutin-Lübeck Railway. Initial plans for a line through the Holstein Switzerland region date back to 1844, but the planning process was protracted, primarily because the Danish kings initially refused to allow a connection to the then-free Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Plön station is a special station in Schleswig-Holstein in several respects, as it is located directly on the shore of the Großer Plöner See (Great Plön Lake) and houses a listed, historic building. It is often described as the "station with the most beautiful view".
