With a length of 108 kilometers, the Eider is the longest river in Schleswig-Holstein. The river is up to 200 meters wide and 25 meters deep and is lined with reed beds and water lily fields. Many rare animal and plant species find a suitable habitat here. From 811 to 1864, the river marked Denmark's southern border, with two short interruptions.

The view from the large bathing meadow towards the Eider is therefore very beautiful because the river makes a large bend here, so that one can see far into both arms.
