Discover the tranquil beauty of northern Germany in winter on this scenic tour through the historic towns of Eutin and Plön. These are set amid shimmering lakes, elegant castles, and peaceful winter landscapes.
Take a panoramic drive to Eutin, often called the Weimar of the North. Stroll through the charming Old Town with its classic northern German architecture and quiet winter streets. A highlight is a visit to the impressive Eutin Castle, beautifully reflected in the nearby lake and surrounded by a scenic park that takes on a particularly serene atmosphere in the cooler months. An in-house guide shares stories of dukes and artists, and the cultural heritage that has shaped the region.
Continue through the gently rolling countryside of the Holstein region — a landscape of lakes, forests, and soft winter light. The drive itself offers beautiful views of frozen fields and quiet villages wrapped in seasonal calm.
Arriving in Plön, you'll be greeted by one of the most picturesque sights in northern Germany — striking Plön Castle, perched high above the town with sweeping views over the surrounding lakes. In the Old Town, narrow streets, historic houses, and the peaceful lakeside promenade invite you to explore at a relaxed pace. Your guide will point out local highlights and share insights into the town's history as a former ducal residence.
