Duration: approx. 6.5 hours, light lunch included

Leave the port and drive through the beautiful Schleswig-Holstein countryside to reach Ploen and its landmark historic castle set on a hill, overlooking a broad lake. We will embark on a delightful boat ride across the “Grosser Ploener” lake to reach Dersau. These waterways of this region are a popular tourist destination thanks to their winning combination of crystal clear waters, the medieval villages that line the shores and the huge shady forests that contribute to the magical, fairytale atmosphere. Next we will head for Bosau where a brief stop to take photographs of the Petri Church is scheduled; the church, dedicated to St. Peter, was built in 1151-52. We will continue to Eutin where you can see St. Michaelis Church and Eutin Castle next to the lovely market place. A typical, light German lunch will be served in Dersau. Return to Kiel.

Discover the beautiful countryside of Schleswig-Holstein by boarding the modern coach to Plön and its historical landmark, the fabulous Plön Castle. Set on a hill overlooking the lake, the rather elegant white building dates back to the 17^th century and was recently restored. The tour continues by boat across “Grosser Ploener” Lake to the town of Dersau, where a light lunch will be served. The whole region is popular with tourists due to its winning combination of crystal-clear waterways, quaint medieval villages lining the shores and shady forestation along the banks, all of which contribute to the fairytale atmosphere of this magical place. On reaching the town of Bosau, a brief photo stop will be made at the Petri Church, which was built between 1151 and 1152. A guided bus tour of the city of Kiel, including a chance to see its famous canal, brings your tour to a close.
