Tröndel: Weddelbek, Baltic Sea and Gut Neuhaus

Tröndel has a rural character shaped by a stream, gentle hills and its proximity to the Baltic Sea. The Weddelbek flows through the village; the sea is about four kilometres away and offers visitors an appealing panorama. Other highlights include the historic school dating from 1806 and the village’s connection with Gut Neuhaus. The wider Plön destination adds lakes, coastline and further nature and cultural experiences to this local focus.

Landscape between stream and coast

Tröndel lies among the gently rolling hills of Schleswig-Holstein’s young moraine landscape. The Weddelbek brings a stream right into the village’s description, while the Baltic Sea, around four kilometres away, offers a useful point of reference when planning a trip. Visitors can also enjoy the appealing coastal panorama. The landscape thus brings together gently undulating countryside and proximity to the sea. When planning your stay, you can decide whether to focus on the landscape around Tröndel or on the coastal and lake experiences across the wider Plön destination.

Local history and Gut Neuhaus

The historic school was built in 1806 and is considered a surviving testament to Tröndel’s history. Gut Neuhaus is another historical connection, linked to the village’s past. The estate was founded by the Rantzaus around 1500 and is described as the largest estate in Holstein. The historic estate complex by Lake Selent includes a three-winged manor house and ten listed buildings. These include a Neo-Gothic gatehouse and former cavalier houses. The different buildings give the estate’s history a tangible architectural dimension: from the manor house at the heart of the ensemble to the gatehouse and former cavalier houses.

Plön as a wider natural and recreational area

The wider Plön destination opens up a broader landscape. Plön District 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 coastline. Large parts of the district belong to the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park, which covers 75,000 hectares and offers opportunities to experience nature and spot rare animals.

The wider Holstein Switzerland region around the Plön lake district offers opportunities for hiking, cycling and water sports. Lakes, streams, wetlands, forests, meadows and gentle hills provide the regional landscape setting. Plön District also has a signposted network of cycle routes totalling 850 kilometres and developed Nordic walking trails. If you enjoy being on the water, you can explore the Schwentine waterway by canoe; the lakes are also used by sailboats and excursion boats.

Make coastal or lake scenery your holiday focus

The Baltic coast of Plön District also offers a range of activities: swimming, sailing, surfing, diving, boat trips, offshore sailing excursions, cutter trips and surf fishing are all part of the regional offering. This variety sets the wider Plön area apart from Tröndel’s specific character, with the Weddelbek, moraine hills and estate history. You can therefore decide whether to focus more on Tröndel’s landscape and history or on the lakes and coastal activities of the wider Plön destination.
