Mühbrook on Lake Einfeld: Nature and Theatre in March

Mühbrook combines the shores of Lake Einfeld and Lake Bordesholm with a seasonal bathing area, opportunities for nature watching and a signposted hiking route. Another local highlight is the Speeldeel’s performance of plays in Low German in March. This offers different themes to consider when planning your trip: water and scenery, a hike with information boards, and a recurring cultural event.

Lakes, bathing area and nature watching

Mühbrook borders the northern shore of the 168-hectare Lake Einfeld and also includes the southwestern shore of Lake Bordesholm. These two shoreline connections give the village a distinct lakeside character. The area around Lake Einfeld includes a nature reserve with reed beds and floating-leaved plants. A pair of binoculars offers the chance to watch rare waterbirds there. If you are particularly interested in birds and shoreline vegetation, these opportunities for observation are a highlight.

The bathing area in Mühbrook on Lake Einfeld has a bathing pontoon. It was replaced in September 2020. Swimming is seasonal; check local bathing conditions before your visit. This makes the bathing area different in timing from the other lake-related activities: it is a seasonal activity, while nature watching and hiking offer other focuses.

Hiking around Lake Einfeld

The Sehpunkte circular trail runs around Lake Einfeld and is signposted as a hiking route. It is approximately eight kilometres long. Information boards cover the lake’s history, its flora and fauna, and water levels. The themes therefore range from the lake’s history to its plants, animals and water levels. The approximate length gives you a clear idea of the scale of the hike; the boards add topics to explore along the way.

Low German theatre in March

The Mühbrooker Speeldeel performs plays in Low German every year in March. March is therefore a recurring time for culture enthusiasts, although the exact performance dates may vary. Check the specific dates if attending a performance is important to your travel plans. Unlike the lake and nature activities, the theatre is a clearly seasonal event that you can match to your preferred travel dates.

Rendsburg-Eckernförde as the wider regional setting

The wider travel destination of Rendsburg-Eckernförde offers more to explore beyond Mühbrook’s lake scenery. The district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde has 55 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline and a signposted network of 1,000 kilometres of cycle routes. Four nature parks are located in the district, crossed by the 180-kilometre Nature Park Hiking Trail. The Kiel Canal is also part of this regional picture: about 70 kilometres, or two-thirds of the canal, run through the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde. The coastline, cycle route network and Nature Park Hiking Trail describe the wider district, while Mühbrook’s local attractions centre on its two lakes and the Sehpunkte circular trail.
