Tröndel between the Weddelbek, hills and the Baltic Sea
The Weddelbek flows through Tröndel; the Baltic Sea is about four kilometres away and offers an appealing panorama. At the same time, the village is set among the gently rolling hills of Schleswig-Holstein’s young moraine landscape. The course of the stream, gently undulating terrain and proximity to the coast give Tröndel a rural character. When looking for a holiday apartment in Tröndel, it is worth distinguishing this picture of the village from the wider area: the broader travel destination of Plön encompasses other lake, coastal and natural landscapes.
A historic landmark in the village
The historic school building dating from 1806 is considered a surviving record of the village’s history. Tröndel’s rural character is thus linked to a specific historical reference and a precisely identified year of construction.
In the broader travel destination of Plön
The district of Plön lies between the Baltic Sea and Holstein Switzerland and has around 50 kilometres of Baltic coastline. The district is home to around 80 lakes, including Lake Großer Plöner See, covering 29 km², and Lake Selenter See, covering 22 km². These figures illustrate the range of landscapes in the region: lakes and the Baltic coast sit alongside gently rolling countryside.
Holstein Switzerland includes the Plön lake area, Holstein Switzerland Nature Park, and landscape conservation areas, Natura 2000 sites and nature reserves. Large parts of the district lie within the nature park, which covers 75,000 hectares. Lakes, streams, wetlands, forests, meadows and gentle hills shape the landscape. The nature park offers space for enjoying nature and spotting rare animals.
Historic manor architecture
Gut Neuhaus on Lake Selenter See preserves a historic manor complex with a three-wing manor house and ten listed estate buildings. These include a Neo-Gothic gatehouse and former cavalier houses. The estate was established by the Rantzau family around 1500 and is described as the largest estate in Holstein. The different types of buildings make clear that the complex encompasses more than just the manor house.
On foot, by bike and on the water
For activities on land, the gently hilly landscape of the district of Plön provides conditions for hiking and cycling. There is also a signposted network of 850 kilometres of cycling routes and well-developed Nordic walking trails; distances and routes may change. Further afield in Holstein Switzerland, water sports are also available. The landscape of lakes, streams, wetlands, forests, meadows and hills offers a different setting from the Baltic coast.
Along the Baltic coast of the district of Plön, swimming spots stretch from Mönkeberg to Sehlendorfer Strand. Sailing, surfing, diving, boat trips, offshore sailing trips, cutter trips and surf fishing are also possible there. For exploring the water, the Schwentine water trail in the district is another option; it can be explored by canoe. Sailboats and excursion boats also operate on the lakes.
When searching for a holiday apartment in Tröndel, you can use these options to clarify what you want to focus on: would you like the village, with the Weddelbek, young moraine landscape and historic school building, to be the centrepiece, or is the range of experiences in the broader travel destination of Plön particularly important for your trip? The local landscape and the wider district help you weigh up different interests for your stay.
