Malente: Holzbergturm
Tucked between the lakes of the Holsteinische Schweiz, Malente is a place whose character is shaped by a gently rolling, glacially formed landscape. The town lies in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, in a lake district where woodland, pasture and cultivated fields alternate around the shores of Dieksee and Kellersee. Malente was formerly known as Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen, a name reflecting its long-standing role as a health resort. Its built-up centre is modest rather than urban, while the surrounding countryside gives the area its spacious character. The Kiel–Lübeck railway serves the town, linking this rural part of Holstein with two of northern Germany’s principal cities. Sport also forms part of its identity: the local sports school has hosted German football teams for training camps.

Dieksee belongs to the Schwentine river system, which links several lakes across this part of eastern Holstein. Malente also has a place in German popular culture: the historic Gut Immenhof estate provided the setting for the much-loved Immenhof films of the 1950s.

Schleswig-Holstein blends maritime openness with rural calm in a way that reflects its position between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Germany’s northernmost state borders Denmark and stretches across low farmland, marshes, sandy shores and islands. The Kiel Canal crosses the region, linking the North Sea at Brunsbüttel with the Baltic near Kiel. On the west coast, the tidal flats of the Wadden Sea form part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lübeck’s historic centre, shaped by the Hanseatic League and Brick Gothic architecture, adds an important urban counterpoint.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
