Passade combines a local bread-making tradition with a public swimming area next to a playground. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, these two features provide concrete points to consider; fish dishes and seasonal foods round out the culinary picture. The wider destination of Plön broadens the view to include lakes, the Baltic Sea coast, nature and culture.

Fish, baked goods and seasonal foods

Foods associated with Passade include fresh lake fish and jellied eel; there is also bread from Passader Backhaus and summer raspberries. Availability is seasonal and depends on local businesses.

Passader Backhaus has a local organic bread-making tradition. Grain from Göttsch-Hof is processed there; bread and baked goods are sold through the farm shop and at markets. The tradition is ongoing, while places of sale and availability may vary. If you are specifically looking for bread or pastries, check in advance where they are currently available.

Swimming area by the playground

The public swimming area is next to a playground. If access to a swimming spot is important to your choice of location, it offers a concrete point of reference. As the swimming area is maintained locally, it is worth checking its condition before your visit.
