Landscape and hiking in Warder
Warder is located in Westensee–Obere Eider Nature Park; Lake Warder is part of its nature-focused landscape. The nature park hiking trail runs through Warder. The lake and the trail offer different ways to experience nature: the lake is a local landscape feature, while the route is a specific connection to hiking. If you would rather focus on scenery or exercise during your stay, you can weigh these two aspects of the area separately.
Watermill and stone park
Visitor attractions include the old watermill in Alt MĂĽhlendorf and Warder Stone Park. The stone park is an open-air sculpture gallery between Warder and Alt MĂĽhlendorf, and can be visited at Gut Seehof by the lake. As it is privately managed, please check access before visiting. The location details distinguish between the attractions: the mill is in Alt MĂĽhlendorf, while the gallery is between Warder and Alt MĂĽhlendorf. In terms of their content, a single building and a gallery of outdoor sculptures are presented side by side.
Getting there
The Warder exit on the A7 is in AltmĂĽhlendorf, a district of Warder. You can use the exit name together with the district as a reference when planning your journey.
