The Wilsterau is an idyllic, quiet river. Since the land all around is below sea level, the Wilsterau partially flows “over” the land!

The Wilsterau (also Wilster Au) is a north-western (right) tributary of the Stör in the Steinburg district or in the Wilstermarsch. With the construction of the Kiel Canal from 1887 to 1895, the Wilsterau was cut off from its natural headwaters, which lay west of the canal near Burg (Dithmarschen). It begins today east of the canal, to which it is connected via a pumping station, and runs from there in a south-easterly direction, makes an arc in a southerly direction and then reaches Rumfleth and Wilster. The Wilsterau originally ran through Wilster in a loop, but it was shortened with a puncture. Near Kasenort it flows into the Stör at river kilometer 63.5. Today's course is about 19 kilometers long.

Since the construction of the Kiel Canal, the Wilsterau no longer has a natural spring. It is also only connected to the Holstenau, one of its former tributaries, via the Moorkanal and the pumping station on the Kiel Canal. It therefore no longer has any relevant natural inflows, but is primarily fed via pumping stations. Their catchment area now only covers approx. 3,500 hectares. Since the Kiel Canal was built, it has been increasingly silting up due to the lack of natural flow velocity and thus the lack of flushing effect.
