Go on a driving holiday in Germany and visit the Malente region, located in eastern Schleswig-Holstein and home to just over 10,000 inhabitants. Take a walk in the beautiful "Holstein Switzerland". You might pass the 24-metre-high Holzberg Tower, from where you can get a fantastic panoramic view over the two large lakes, Dieksee and Kellersee, on either side of the tower. An active holiday is on the cards, with many hikes to as many as five of the area's lakes. Or how about taking a lovely boat trip on the unique "5-Lakes-Fahrt". The boat trip starts at Dieksee, and offers a great opportunity to see a larger part of the region in a short time - even from a wonderful and refreshing angle.
Just around the Holzberg Tower and Dieksee you'll also find Bad Malente Wildpark; a protected and beautiful woodland area covering 12 hectares where you can see wild boar and deer, among other things. Access to the park is free.
The town of Bad Malente is very charming and you will find both shops and cafés. Ideal cheap weekend break for the whole family, check out Risskov and go on a cheap summer holiday south.
