Eutin Train Station

Highlight • Rest Area

As part of the State Garden Show, the station was spruced up again. The fact that the taxi stands were initially forgotten was later corrected. A kiosk has remained in the station, and there is even a service desk. Unfortunately, only the restaurant did not survive. What a pity.
Updated on May 13, 2023: the small kiosk unfortunately closed some time ago.

Eutin Castle Garden

Highlight • Natural Monument

A historic park in the style of an English landscape garden, bordering Eutin Castle.

The garden's earliest origins date back to around 1500. From 1716 onward, a luxurious French Baroque garden was created, in keeping with the spirit of the times. However, just 60 years later, work began on its fundamental redesign and expansion into what was then a fashionable English landscape garden, featuring numerous special trees from all over the world, winding paths, small temples, a waterfall, a Chinese bridge, and romantic views of the lake. It has remained almost unchanged to this day, except that the trees have since grown into magnificent giants. The Ducal Garden has been open to the public for almost 200 years. Also located within the garden is a separate kitchen garden with an orangery, a New Zealand House, a display kitchen, and various beautifully maintained plantings (medicinal herbs, heirloom varieties, vines, kettle trees). The garden is now a listed monument as one of Northern Germany's most important works of garden art. It was extensively renovated in 2015. Learn about the philosophy behind this many-hectare, listed gem, its botanical features, what a kitchen garden is all about, and much more on a guided tour offered by the Eutin Tourist Information Center. Numerous educational programs for children also take place here.

South Shore of the Großer Eutiner See

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The path on the south shore of the Great Eutin Lake is completely different from the one on the north shore. It is always right on the water along and you have the lake constantly in front of your eyes. On the left hand side are pastures, meadows and a few houses. At the end it is varied. An old depot, the castle garden and the Eutin castle are waiting for us before we reach the city again.

Into the reeds!

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On a narrow path it's right on rushes along the shore along, a bit wavy, a few roots. Could be even nicer to drive due to the overall slight slope in the opposite direction.

North shore of the Großer Eutiner See

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) usually blooms pure white in nature, but occasionally has petals with a slight pink tinge. The flowering period extends from March to May, but in mild regions, the wood anemone opens its blossoms as early as February.

Eutin Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eutin Castle in Eutin, East Holstein, is the cultural center and nucleus of the town. Along with Gottorf Castle and Glücksburg Castle, it is one of the most important secular court buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. The four-winged complex originated from a medieval castle and was expanded into a royal residence over several centuries.
