Ukleisee & Hunting Lodge
Ukleisee, Jagdschloss Uklei
A deep, quiet little lake in the forest north of Eutin, with an 18th-century baroque hunting lodge on its shore and a peaceful trail around the water.
Ukleisee is a small lake surrounded by steep beech woods. Its water is deep and dark, and it is considered the corner of Holstein Switzerland that feels most like Switzerland. On the shore stands the hunting lodge, built in 1776 as the summer hunting house of the prince-bishops of Lübeck, next to the long-established lakeside restaurant Uklei-Fährhaus. The trail around the lake is about 3 km and takes about an hour, and it can be linked with the neighboring Kellersee for a longer hike. The lake is about 6 km from Eutin, and buses between Malente and Eutin stop nearby.
