This is a beautiful road that I occasionally drive. When I drive from Wedel to Uetersen in the summer as darkness falls, the sheep also lie on the road, even if the road is a bit warmer from the sun than the pasture. Usually, the sheep get up in time, and I can drive slowly through the sheep. If it's a bit later, it takes a little longer for the sheep to get up.

A fantastic hiking and cycling path runs along here, amidst beautiful nature. On one side, sheep graze on the dike, and on the opposite side, the Elbe River flows through apple orchards. Highly recommended.

The sheep graze on the dikes in the Altes Land region to help with dike stabilization and maintenance. As they graze, they act as natural lawnmowers, and their hooves compact the soil, strengthening the turf and protecting the dike from erosion. Furthermore, the sheep's hooves fill in mouse holes and mole tunnels, which could otherwise lead to dike undermining during floods. The sheep keep the grass short, promoting deeper and stronger root development. This robust root system protects the dike from the force of the water. Soil compaction: the sheep's hooves firm the soil, stabilizing the dike. The compacted turf prevents erosion, and the sheep actively fill in mouse and mole holes. The sheep provide natural landscape maintenance, serving as a cost-effective alternative to mechanical maintenance and ensuring a uniform, dense turf.
