This hike takes you around Lake Uklei in Holstein Switzerland, which is considered one of the most romantic lakes in northern Germany due to its deep blue colour and the surrounding wooded hills.
From the starting point at the car park, the trail leads around the entire lake on natural paths, often meandering directly along the shore. A particular highlight is the historic hunting lodge on Lake Uklei, which was built on a hill in 1776 and is now used for concerts and weddings. In the steep beech forests that line the lake, kingfishers can often be seen flitting across the surface of the water, while vendace and pike are at home in the clear water.
