Nature

The Wankendorf lake district and the Bornhöved area are considered a terminal moraine. The landscape around Wankendorf is considered to have formed during the second and third advances.

There is a bathing area at Lake Schierensee. The 39-kilometre-long cycling tour Land between Stocksee, Schmalensee, Belau, Stolpe and Wahlstorf also passes through Wankendorf.

Culture

In 1894, the neo-Gothic church, the vicarage and the cemetery were built on the border between Wankendorf and Stolpe. The Wankendorf cemetery was established next to the neighboring church.

A lime-tree avenue leads from the church to the mausoleum of the church patron Bernhard Carl von Donner. Both the church and the mausoleum are protected historic monuments.
