Pönitzer lake district

Nature and culture in a rural idyll - the shores of the great Pönitzer Lake offer a wonderful alternative to beach holidays on the Baltic Sea in Scharbeutz and Haffkrug. This unusual strip of land, with its picturesque lakes, gently-rolling hills and fields and beautiful forests, provides the backdrop for the perfect Baltic Sea holiday.

The Pönitzer lake district resort offers nature at its purest and finest. Signposted routes for cyclists, skaters and walkers take you to the most beautiful spots. The Pönitzer lakes are also a major attraction for anglers. The bathing areas provide the perfect recreation area for the whole family - for water babies young and old. If it's the culture of eastern Holstein you're after, then pay a visit to the local history museum in Pönitz, the "Feldsteinkirche" in Gleschendorf or go along to the old "Gut Garkau" estate.
