Plön District, Rural district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Plön District is a rural county in Schleswig-Holstein that spreads across rolling terrain dotted with numerous water bodies. The landscape features two major lakes, scattered woodlands, and moorland areas, while certain sections extend toward the Baltic coastline.
The district was formed in its present configuration in 1867 and underwent significant territorial changes in 1932 through the addition of parts from the former Bordesholm district. These boundary adjustments established the administrative framework that remains in place today.
The name Plön derives from Slavic origins meaning wetland, reflecting the marshy character of this landscape. The region blends rural traditions with contemporary life, where historic village patterns coexist alongside modern settlements and development.
The region is traversed by small and medium-sized towns that are mainly accessible by car or train. Visitors will find various accommodation options, though it's worth noting that some areas are less densely populated with larger distances between villages.
The Großer Plöner See is the largest lake in all of Schleswig-Holstein and accommodates various water sports activities. Its size has made it a draw for people seeking either quiet time by the water or active recreation options.
