Holsteinische Schweiz station (German: Bahnhof Holsteinische Schweiz) is a railway station by the Kellersee lake on the Malente-Gremsmühlen–Lütjenburg railway in Schleswig-Holstein. It was opened on 25 May 1890. The entire route was built due to the efforts of businessman Johannes Janus, who ran the Hotel Holsteinische Schweiz ("Holstein Switzerland") after which the station was named. Platform 1 had a roof which was dismantled again in 1896 in order to be re-erected at Plön's prince's station (strictly Plön-Parkstation). Since 1910 this roof has graced the home platform at Plön station. Regular passenger and goods services on the Malente-Gremsmühlen-Lütjenburg line, and therefore at Holsteinische Schweiz station were closed in 2000. Currently part of the line has been converted to 600 mm gauge and is back in service as a heritage railway. From Easter 2009 regular services have returned to Holsteinische Schweiz station. The station is serviced by the 600 mm narrow-gauge line called the Hein Schüttelborg.

The Großer Eutiner See is a lake in Holstein Switzerland, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It lies northeast of the town of Eutin. It has an area of 230 hectares (570 acres), is up to 17 metres deep and lies at a height of about 26.7 m above sea level (NN). It northern side borders directly on the woods of the Seeschaarwald. In the western part of the lake, separated by the Bebensund Bridge, the Fissauer Bucht, its main inflow, the River Schwentine enters, and then leaves again a little further west. For boating enthusiasts the Schwentine is only navigable upstream as far as the Großer Eutiner See. There are two islands in the Großer Eutiner See: Pheasant Island (Fasaneninsel) on which the origins of the settlement in that area are located, and which used to be a visual axis point for the former Baroque garden at Eutin Castle and which has been re-occupied today and is in private hands, and the so-called Liebesinsel ("Love Island"). Musicals take place during the summer in the castle garden on the shore of the Großer Eutiner See.

Utin (in Latin letters VTIN - also "Uthine") was the name of a Wendish castle that was built in the 9th century on Pheasant Island in the lake known as the Großer Eutiner See in what is now the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It was the centre of the eponymous Wendish Gau. The castle was linked to the shore via a bridge next to which a settlement, also called Utin, grew up. The castle was destroyed by the Holcetae tribe when they conquered Wagria in 1138/39. The site of the settlement - which was the origin of the present-day town of Eutin - on the shore of the Großer Eutiner See, survived and retained the name "Utin" (also e.g. "Uthine") which over the course of time became "Eutin". The four letters "VTIN" became part of the coat of arms of the town of Eutin.

Pheasant Island (German: Fasaneninsel) is one of the two islands in the south of the lake of Großer Eutiner See, which itself lies in the borough of Eutin in the district of Ostholstein in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The island is about 150 m × 200 m (490 ft × 660 ft) across. From the 9th century, Pheasant Island was the site of a Wendish castle which was given the name Utin and was the centre of the eponymous Gau. The castle was linked to the shore over a bridge. The castle was destroyed in 1138/39 by the Holsteiners during the conquest of Wagria. The subsequent settlement was built on the shore and developed into the present-day town of Eutin. Pheasant Island is one of the landmarks of the visual axes of the former Baroque garden of Eutin Castle. The name "Pheasant Island" is derived from the old pheasantry that used to exist on the island. Today, the island is privately owned and inhabited.
