As early as 1938, the Kudensee and its surroundings were placed under protection. The entire area covers an area of 246 hectares. The water surface of the lake with its reed zones as well as the former rinsing fields and wet grasslands in the south in the communities of Kuden and Averlak serve to preserve endangered plant and animal communities of an inland lake typical of the marshland.
In the post-ice age, a sheltered sea bay with extensive marshland and shallow water areas was created between the spit and the edge of the Geest.

The path is only recommended in dry weather. The view of the landscape and the Kudensee is great. Since this place cannot be reached by car, it is correspondingly quiet and peaceful here. There is a bench to sit on and enjoy nature.
