リューブテーエンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The old fieldstone church was built around 1256 and served as a place of worship for the surrounding villages of the Alt Jabel community until a new one was built in 1908. The attic and a wooden bell tower were demolished, and the church remains were left to their own devices. The church ruins have now been restored and secured.

The sand of the dune was formed 10,000 years ago, but it is not as if this dune has been there for that long. It is also not that big. Like all dunes in the Griesen area, the sand only became a problem for people in the Middle Ages, as they had exploited and cut down the previously existing forest. The sand spread unhindered and shifting dunes formed. The problem was solved after reforestation. This dune is supposed to still shift, but I don't think that is the case, as it is enclosed and partially covered by pine trees. Wind can hardly get through here anymore. That may have been different some time ago.

A fascinating place that is worth exploring. There are also a few benches here that invite you to linger. Just sit down and think about your thoughts.

Be sure to pack insect/mosquito spray! The entire forest between the dunes and the moor is well visited by biting beasts, depending on the season/weather conditions. ;)

The ruins of the Michaeliskirche from 1256 with round arches were built from field stones. The church existed until around 1908, after which the wooden tower was demolished and the rest fell into disrepair. https://www.wikiwand.com/de/Alt_Jabel
