Grebin combines a rural lake landscape with winegrowing and traces of the medieval past. This offers more than one focal point for planning a trip: you can combine time outdoors with wildlife watching, activities by the water, a glimpse of local history and regional wine. You can decide which of these aspects will shape your stay based on your personal interests.
Nature and lakes around Grebin
Grebin’s tourist appeal centres on its rural lake landscape. Walking, wildlife watching and fishing are among the nature experiences on offer; possible wildlife to look out for includes white-tailed eagles, roe deer and fish. Whether you spot any wildlife is up to nature. You can explore the surrounding countryside on foot or cycle through villages and along the lakes. This offers different ways to stay active: take a walk in the countryside or go for a bike ride through the local landscape. Check the route signs and trail conditions locally.
Swimming at Lake Grebin
Lake Grebin is an option for a day of swimming. The bathing area has sunbathing lawns, shade trees and a sandy beach. Swimming offers a different focus from hiking, wildlife watching or fishing, and is another reason to spend time by the water. Access and bathing conditions may vary by season; check conditions before your visit.
Winegrowing and medieval traces
Weingut S. J. Montigny operates a vineyard in Grebin. Solaris, Felicias and Regent grapes are grown there, and the estate also produces the house wine “So mookt wi dat!” Winegrowing adds a distinctive local focus to the nature experiences.
The medieval traces can also be found in several locations. Remains of a medieval motte lie between the village and Lake Görnitz. Another, late-medieval motte is located between Lake Tresdorf and Lake Rotten. Medieval castle remains can also be found in the park at Gut Schönweide. Their locations and different periods show how Grebin’s history is visible at several sites.
The wider setting: Plön
