Geographically, Großensee is located about 20 kilometres east of Hamburg, making it a popular destination for city travellers looking for some peace and quiet. The surrounding area is dominated by picturesque forests, rolling hills and lakescapes - perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.

Topically relevant sights include Tremsbüttel Castle and the historic water mill in Trittau. The nearby Lütjensee also invites you to take a boat trip and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape.

Cultural highlights include, above all, the annual jazz festival in summer and various art exhibitions in the region. Those who want to indulge in culinary delights should definitely try the regional specialities - including fresh fish from the lake or traditional dishes from the nearby farm shop.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous opportunities for leisure activities: in spring, a bicycle tour along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal is tempting, while in summer you can relax at the Großensee lido. In autumn, on the other hand, a hike through the colourful forests is worthwhile, followed by a cosy evening in one of the rustic inns.

And should the weather not cooperate, there are also indoor activities such as a tour of the castle or a visit to the nearby cinema. No matter what time of year - Großensee is always worth a visit and offers something for every taste. A real insider tip for all travellers looking for an authentic experience far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city!

    Die Westufer vom Großensee und Lütjensee sind leider größtenteils mit Privatgrundstücken belegt. Insbesondere am Großensee erinnert dort der Weg, wenn man in Seenähe kommt manchmal dank Zäunen und Natostacheldraht an den Todesstreifen der ehemaligen innderdeutschen Grenze. Andere Passagen an den Ostufern und am Südufer des Mönchsteiches sind dagegen schön. Danke für das Bereitstellen der Tour.
