Tips

In the pit in the Muldsberg district, clay was mined from 1936 to 1996 for cement production by the companies in Breitenburger Portland-Cement-Fabrik, Alsen and Holcim.

The mining in the open pit was carried out with a bucket chain excavator. Until 1964, the material was brought to the edge of the pit by cable car and then by conveyor belts, and from there it was transported by truck to the cement works in Lägerdorf. After the abandonment of the neighboring Alsen clay pits near Wacken, the clay was transported for a short time (1974 to 1977) with the Alsens cable car to Itzehoe. The clay mining was stopped in 1996, the dismantling of all conveyor belts took place until 1999.

Since the artificial dewatering was discontinued in 2004, the pit has been filling with groundwater. The water and its surroundings are being developed as a biotope and for local recreation. There is a five-kilometer circular route with resting places around the water.

The approximately 77 hectare area was bought in 2005 with the financial participation of the municipality of Mehlbek, the Nature Conservation Foundation and the nature conservation authority of the Steinburg district for the benefit of nature conservation. Since then the water level has risen continuously and has now reached its final height. The natural oasis became a large lake and is constantly changing. There is always something new to discover for nature lovers: especially beautiful, the small cormorant population.
