Wedendorfersee – Lakeshore, Landscape and Village History

Wedendorfersee between Lakeshore and Hilly Landscape

Wedendorfersee is a destination for days when water, open landscapes and regional history set the pace. Lake Wedendorfer covers around 24 hectares and is part of the “Köchelsdorfer Mühle including Lake Wedendorfer” protected landscape area. Its near-natural shore features an almost continuous reed belt. The landscape is characterised by extensive hilly pastures and fields. The almost continuous reed belt gives the shore a different character from the open pastures and fields. This means that near-natural shore structures and an agriculturally shaped hilly landscape meet directly at Lake Wedendorfer. You can weigh up different priorities: a walk by the water, wide views across fields and pastures, or historical impressions in the villages.

Hiking Trails with Different Starting Points

A hiking trail financed with LEADER funding runs around Lake Wedendorfer. It allows you to experience the body of water as a cohesive landscape theme without having to limit your plans to a single attraction. Kirch Grambow offers another access point: a hiking trail to Lake Wedendorfer is signposted behind the church, allowing for a short detour to the lake. The circular trail and the access route behind the church focus on different aspects. On the circular trail, the lake remains the central theme throughout; in Kirch Grambow, the church site can be combined with the short detour to the water. This suits a day that places nature and village history side by side. If you would like to combine your walk with a visit to a village, you can regard these two routes as different points of orientation.

Kirch Grambow and Wedendorf Castle

Kirch Grambow belongs to the municipality of Wedendorfersee and lies on the eastern shore of Lake Wedendorfer. The village church in Kirch Grambow was built in 1267, at the end of the 13th century. It contains a Baroque altar with elaborate carvings, which was brought into the church in 1691. The construction date of the church and the altar added in 1691 bring together medieval architectural history and Baroque furnishings. Thus, during a visit to the church, the construction period and later furnishings appear as distinct historical layers. Enquiries about a guided tour of the church can be directed to Pastor Ortlieb at 038872 / 51 013.

Wedendorf Castle also provides a historical accent. It was built in 1697. The castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. This information is important for planning your day: the village church and the castle represent different ways of exploring, while the lake and hilly landscape define the nature-oriented part of your stay.
