Discover Krems II on Wardersee

The municipality of Krems II lies at the northern end of Wardersee. Local activities include a bathing area, riding stables, cycling and hiking trails, and a paddler access point to the Trave in Warderbrück. This makes the location a good choice for combining a direct connection to the lake with several ways to spend time outdoors.

Wardersee and local activities

Wardersee is the defining landscape feature of Krems II. If swimming is part of your travel plans, the local bathing area is a practical option; cycling and hiking trails offer another way to spend your stay. Riding stables add a separate focus to the range of activities. When looking for a hotel, consider whether the lake, trails, or access to the water is most important for your trip.

Cycling, the Trave, and Warderbrück

A regional cycling loop from Bad Segeberg runs through the foothills of Holstein Switzerland and through Krems II. It is about 30 kilometers long and continues along a cycle path toward Warderbrück. This gives cycling visitors a specific regional route that connects Krems II with the way to Warderbrück.

The regional route description also includes the crossing of the Trave at Warderbrück, where there is a canoe launch. From there, the route continues toward Warder and its bathing area by the lake. The cycle path, river crossing, and canoe launch are distinct reference points along the route. Check the latest local information on paths and surfaces before setting out.

More destinations in the wider Segeberg travel area

The wider Segeberg travel area also offers distinctive nature and cultural destinations. Wildpark Eekholt lies on the northern edge of Segeberger Forst, between Bad Bramstedt and Bad Segeberg, in the Osterau landscape. More than 700 animals from 100 species can be observed across 67 hectares. As animal numbers may change, check them before your visit.

Another regional highlight is the Karl May Games. They take place every summer at the open-air theater at the foot of Bad Segeberg’s Kalkberg; each performance can accommodate up to 7,700 spectators. If you are planning a visit, check the dates for your trip.

The town’s architectural history offers another distinct focus: St. Mary’s Church in Bad Segeberg was built from fired clay bricks in 1156. It was the first brick church of its kind north of the Elbe and the first basilica with a vaulted ceiling. The Alt-Segeberger Bürgerhaus Museum focuses on the building’s history and the lives of its residents since 1541, as well as an exhibition on Segeberg’s 800-year development.

Krems II can thus be seen as a destination with a direct connection to Wardersee, while the wider Segeberg travel area adds further nature and cultural themes.
