Lindewitt: Forest Swimming Pool, Forest and Mill History
Accommodation in Lindewitt
Lindewitt can be explored for a variety of reasons: swimming at the forest swimming pool, walking in Lindewitt Forest, and discovering the history of baking and the village at the museum. Water, forest and local history offer different focal points, so you can plan your stay around the experiences that interest you most.
Waldbad Lindewitt: Natural Pond and Swimming Facilities
Waldbad Lindewitt is a large natural pond for recreational swimming and lap swimming. A bathing island and floating water-polo goals add to the activities available in the water. There is a fenced-off swimming area for children. Facilities include a kiosk, changing rooms, sanitary facilities, and indoor and outdoor showers. Free parking is also available at the swimming pool. This gives you several specific options for spending time by the water: swimming, using the bathing island, or playing water polo.
Lindewitt Forest: Woodland, Memorial and Circular Trail
Lindewitt Forest is a mixed woodland dominated by beech and oak. Norway spruce, Douglas fir and silver fir are also found here. The memorial to Countess von BlĂĽcher stands in the forest. Legally protected wetland biotopes lie along a meandering bypass channel of the Linnau. The different tree species, the memorial and the protected biotopes each lend the natural area their own distinctive character.
The Lindewitt Forest Route is a 4.4-kilometre circular walk. It starts at the car park by Lindewitt open-air swimming pool on MĂĽhlenweg. The route first leads to Lindewitt watermill, south of the swimming pool, before entering the forest. Sights listed along the route include Lindewitt Forest, the Linnau, Lindewitt watermill, Waldbad Lindewitt and Lindewitt Bakery Museum. Its length and circular route give you concrete points of reference when planning your walk alongside other experiences.
The History of Baking and Local Memorabilia
The Bakery and Village Museum presents 100 years of baking history and a complete bakery workshop with equipment more than 100 years old. Exhibits include a flour mill from 1930, a bread-roll divider from 1900 and a kneading machine from 1920. The specific dates of these machines bring the history of baking to life. The attic of the bakery also houses a local history museum with additional exhibits, pictures and documents. The history of milling is also part of the village’s character: the forest swimming pool is in Lindewitt Forest, where grain was milled in an old mill building until 1950.
In the wider Schleswig-Flensburg destination
Beyond Lindewitt, the Schleswig-Flensburg destination offers more nature and culture. Haithabu and the Danevirke have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. Covering 773 hectares, Geltinger Birk is the largest nature reserve in Schleswig-Flensburg district. It has well-developed trails and guided walks that introduce visitors to the local flora and fauna. Schleswig-Flensburg thus offers both UNESCO World Heritage and nature experiences with guided walks.
