Westerau

Geographically, Westerau is located in the North German Plain between Hamburg and Lübeck. The region is known for its rolling hills that run through the landscape and feed a multitude of lakes and rivers such as the Trave or the Alster.

Particularly worth seeing here are, among other things, Ahrensburg Castle with its beautiful park and the nearby Duvenstedter Brook nature reserve. A visit to the idyllic village of Hoisdorf is also well worthwhile.

Culturally, Westerau also has much to offer: The Rade Museum at Reinbek Castle shows history you can touch, while concerts, plays or readings take place regularly at the Kulturhaus Trittau.

For those who like to be active, there are numerous cycling and hiking trails to explore the surrounding area, or you can tee off at the Gut Glinde golf course. In winter, the Wittenburg ski centre with its slopes is a real rarity in northern Germany!

For culinary connoisseurs, we definitely recommend a visit to the Café & Restaurant Hof Eggers in Großensee - here, regional specialities are served and you can also sit outside in fine weather.

And if it does rain? Then, for example, the Bargteheide leisure pool or the Reinbek adventure pool invite you to splash around.

Overall, Westerau is definitely worth a trip - whether for a day trip or as a longer holiday destination. It is especially beautiful here in spring and summer, when nature is in full bloom and you can be active outside. We hope this travel guide has whetted your appetite for this beautiful region!
