Beautiful hike in August when the heather is in bloom.

Beautiful in August!

The Transall was a transport aircraft of the Luftwaffe. The last of the 2-propeller aircraft flew in 2021. On special days there are events here such as open days.

The C-160 "Transall" was designed as a medium tactical transport aircraft by Germany and France and produced jointly. The aircraft was characterized by particularly good short take-off and landing characteristics and could also be used from makeshift runways. It proved particularly useful in humanitarian missions. No other aircraft was in service with the German armed forces for as long as the Transall. From 1968 onwards it replaced the Noratlas Nord 2501 as the standard transport aircraft and was then replaced by the Airbus A400M. You can see a decommissioned example of the "buzzing giant bumblebee" here on site at the old train station. The LTG 63 (air transport squadron) had the bumblebee in its coat of arms.

Here you can admire a Transall.

The Sorgwohlder inland dunes near Owschlag have been a nature reserve along the Sorge lowlands since 1936. It extends from Sorgwohld in a northeasterly direction. The dunes were formed in the late and post-glacial periods around 12,000 years ago. A constant ice wind blew the sand from the erosion edges, created by meltwater that had severely eroded the Owschlager Sander in Sorgetal, into mighty dunes. Today it can be assumed that parts of the Sorgwohlde inland dunes have been almost devoid of vegetation since the Ice Age. Humans have cultivated this landscape through grazing and farming since around 1000 AD. fundamentally shaped. The farmers in the sandy areas used the soil removed by pests to litter the stables and then fertilize their one-sidedly cultivated fields. Plowing and removing heather and other ground litter removed nutrients from the soil. This meant that the heather was always able to sprout new crops and germinate its sun-loving seeds better. The Ochsenweg also had an influence on the area. At Sorgwohld he crossed the worry. Large storage areas had to be available at such water points. The cattle kept churning up the ground. The Sorgwohlder inland dunes with their heaths and silver grass and lichen meadows, which are unique to Schleswig-Holstein and are home to a number of insects and spider species that are threatened with extinction.

The inland dunes of Sorgwohld were formed at the end of the Late Ice Age around 12k years ago when sand from the Owschlager Sanders was blown together to form mighty dunes by strong ice winds. So today we can enjoy the common heather here in the middle of the sand dunes. Tip: plan your visit to the heather blossom from 08.08.-09.09.
