Close to the lake, this pet-friendly apartment brings it all within reach. Holstein Switzerland Nature Park is just steps away and Kurpark Malente is within an easy 11-minute walk, so leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen Station, a short 10-minute walk away.

Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and a toaster. Enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
