Passade: Lake Passader See and Historical Traces

Passade offers two distinct points of interest for planning a trip: Lake Passader See and a historical trace at the former manor house. The lake covers about 290 hectares and is up to 12 metres deep. Remains of a historic rampart ditch associated with the former manor house have been preserved in Passade. If you are looking for a hotel in Passade, these landscape and history themes can help guide your choice of destination. The specific features of an accommodation depend on the hotel in question.

Lake Passader See and Getting Your Bearings

An area of around 290 hectares describes the extent of Lake Passader See; its maximum depth of 12 metres offers a different measure. The lake is privately owned. Please observe the applicable animal welfare rules and show consideration for the people who live locally and for wildlife. Also follow the information provided on site.

Historical Traces in Passade

The preserved remains of the historic rampart ditch are associated with the former manor house. A rampart ditch is a historic defensive structure; its remains provide a tangible link to local history. The traces at the former manor house therefore complement the information about the lake with a different subject: the focus here is not the size of a body of water, but a historic feature passed down through the ages. For travellers who also consider local history when choosing a destination, this is a point of interest in its own right.

Plön as a Wider Destination

Within the wider destination of Plön, the perspective broadens from Passade’s local features to the district as a whole. The district of Plön is home to around 80 lakes. Lake Großer Plöner See covers 29 square kilometres, and Lake Selenter See covers 22 square kilometres. The district lies between the Baltic Sea and the Holstein Switzerland region and has about 50 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline. This makes it possible to consider the lake landscape and coastal area as distinct regional highlights.

There are places to swim along the Baltic Sea coast of the district of Plön, from Mönkeberg to Sehlendorfer Strand. Activities available there also include sailing, surfing, diving, boat trips, offshore sailing excursions, cutter trips and surf fishing. These are coastal activities in the wider destination of Plön.

Large parts of the district lie within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park. It covers 75,000 hectares and offers opportunities to experience nature and see rare animals. The district’s gently rolling landscape is suitable for cycling and hiking. Cyclists can use a signposted network of 850 kilometres of routes; there are also developed Nordic walking trails. If you are planning a specific bike ride, it is advisable to check the current route, as routes may change.

Cultural attractions are also part of the wider destination of Plön. Plön Castle stands above the lake of the same name in the Holstein Switzerland region and is the district’s landmark. Groups can book individually tailored combined guided tours in the castle grounds; these combine visits to the Prinzenhaus, the castle park and the castle grounds. As booking arrangements may change, check them before planning your visit. Lütjenburg in the district of Plön is known for its historic town centre. Gut Panker is over 500 years old and is now open to visitors; the estate was formerly run by the Rantzau family.
