Discover Krummbek

Krummbek combines a hands-on activity with a landscape shaped by streams and ponds. It also has local places to shop for food and enjoy regional cuisine. If you are looking for a hotel in Krummbek, these specific themes can shape your travel plans: candle dipping, the waterside landscape and places to eat.

Candle dipping at the Krummbek Candle Barn

The Krummbek Candle Barn offers hands-on candle dipping. The activity is suitable for families, individuals and groups of up to 60 people. It is available year-round; check the opening arrangements before your visit. This makes it possible to plan a visit around the size of your group, without limiting the activity to a particular season.

Candle dipping is a specific activity for families and individuals as well as larger groups. The stated group size is up to 60 people. Check the opening arrangements in advance so your plans fit your visit.

Streams, ponds and the town’s name

Three streams and several ponds of various sizes shape Krummbek’s local landscape. The town’s name is also linked to the name of a body of water: Krummbek is associated with the stream name “Crumbeke.” These are two distinct connections with water: the streams and ponds in the landscape, and the stream name linked to the town’s name.

Those who want to get to know Krummbek through its local character will find both natural features and a connection to the history of its name. Together with the candle barn, they paint a picture that goes beyond a single activity.

Places to enjoy regional cuisine

Local places to visit include the Biolandhof Muhs, which has an organic butcher’s shop on site. Witt’s Gasthof serves traditional and regional dishes and has a beer garden. The two establishments offer different things: a farm with a butcher’s shop on the one hand, and an inn serving regional cuisine on the other. If you are planning a visit, check current opening hours and the menu.

Plön as the wider travel destination

The district of Plön, the wider travel destination, lies between the Baltic Sea and Holstein Switzerland and has around 50 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline. The district includes around 80 lakes, among them Lake Plön, which covers 29 km², and Lake Selent, which covers 22 km². These regional landscape features complement Krummbek’s local streams and ponds with a coastline and larger lakes.

There are places to swim along the Baltic Sea coast of the district of Plön, from Mönkeberg to Sehlendorfer Strand. Other activities available there include sailing, surfing, diving, boat trips, offshore sailing trips, fishing-boat trips and surf fishing. Inland waters also offer regional options: you can explore the Schwentine by canoe within the district, while sailboats and excursion boats travel on the lakes.

The gently rolling landscape of the district of Plön is well suited to cycling and hiking. The signposted cycling route network covers 850 kilometres, and there are also developed Nordic walking trails. Routes may change in the future. Large parts of the district lie within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park, which covers 75,000 hectares and offers opportunities to experience nature and see rare animals.

Cultural attractions also shape the wider travel destination of Plön. Plön Castle stands above the lake of the same name in Holstein Switzerland and is the district’s landmark. Two audio-guide tours pass through Plön’s old town and castle grounds. Each lasts around 20 minutes and can be accessed free of charge via smartphone; check availability before your trip. Groups can book customised combined guided tours of the Plön castle grounds. These combine visits to the Princes’ House, the castle park and the castle grounds; booking arrangements may change.
