If you are looking for hotels in Lindewitt, these highlights can help you tailor your trip to your interests.

Swimming at Lindewitt Forest Swimming Pool

Lindewitt Forest Swimming Pool is a large natural pond used for recreational swimming and swimming laps. Facilities include a bathing island and floating water polo goals; a fenced-off area is provided for children. The combination of swimming laps, water polo and the bathing island makes the different uses of the pool clear. Facilities for visitors include a kiosk, changing rooms, restrooms and indoor and outdoor showers. Free parking is available at the forest swimming pool. This lets you plan your swim around both your preferred type of swimming and the available facilities.

Circular route through Lindewitt Forest

The Lindewitt Forest Route is a 4.4-kilometre circular walk. The starting point is the car park at Lindewitt outdoor swimming pool on Mühlenweg. The route first leads to Lindewitt Watermill, south of the outdoor pool, and then into the forest. This sequence gives the walk a clear structure: the mill is followed by the forest section. Sights along the circular route include Lindewitt Forest, Linnau, Lindewitt Watermill, Lindewitt Forest Swimming Pool and Lindewitt Bakery Museum. The stated distance makes the length of the circular route clear and helps you fit it into your day’s plans.

The forest is a mixed woodland dominated by beech and oak, with spruce, Douglas fir and silver fir also growing there. Lindewitt Forest is also home to the Countess von Blücher monument. Legally protected wetlands lie along a meandering diversion of the Linnau.

Baking and village history

The forest swimming pool is located in Lindewitt Forest; grain was milled in the adjoining old mill building until 1950. Lindewitt Watermill is also a sight along the forest route. The bakery museum presents 100 years of baking history. The bakery’s attic houses a local history museum with additional exhibits, pictures and documents.

The bakery and village museum also feature a complete bakery equipped with machinery more than 100 years old. The individual items bear a range of dates: the bread roll divider dates from 1900, the kneading machine from 1920 and the grain mill from 1930. These three dated machines offer a concrete glimpse into historical baking practices; the local history museum’s pictures and documents add further aspects of the area’s history. For a culture-focused visit, you can choose between concentrating on baking technology and taking a broader look at local history.

In the wider Schleswig-Flensburg travel region, Haithabu and the Danewerk have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since June 2018. The historic memorial site and Idstedt Museum also provide information about German-Danish history surrounding the 1848 uprising and the Battle of Idstedt. These regional perspectives broaden Lindewitt’s local themes with further historical connections.
