ホッホフェルダー湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Here, a small, narrow trail (on the embankment of an old railway line) leads through the bushes. Due to the widening of the A21/B404, construction is underway here, and a section of the trail has been removed – meaning: unfortunately, there will be no further access here at some point.

It has now completely grown over.

The nature reserve with the identifier number 128 is located in a moraine landscape south of Kirchbarkau, between Bordesholm and Preetz. It protects an extensive lowland area formed during the Weichselian glaciation, including the two lakes Lütjensee and Hochfelder See. The lakes, which are crossed by waterways and share a common outflow to the Bothkamper See, are surrounded by extensive silting zones. The lowland area is predominantly near-natural. It is largely occupied by fen and wet forests, reed beds, and sedge marshes. In addition, there are tall herbaceous plants and wet grassland. The somewhat higher and drier elevations are dominated by grassland. Hedgerows and scattered deciduous forest communities and woodlands are also found. The grassland areas are used for agriculture. Some areas are extensively grazed by Galloway cattle. The grassland areas are no longer drained and are thus becoming waterlogged.

The two-tiered water flow under this bridge shows how much the water level has been lowered over the past two centuries.

There is a bench under an oak tree in partial shade with a view of Lake Bothkamp.

There is a carpooling bench at the Kleinbarkau bus stop. There are also two memorial stones on the small green area: They commemorate the soldiers who fell in World War I and the peace of 1871.

NSG Lütjensee and Hochfelder See: well-kept hiking trail with a beautiful view over natural 😀 meadows. Large selection of wild herbs 😋

In May, the cute foals can be admired here - some of these breeding animals have a significant journey ahead of them.
