ノルダーヴェールデンの湖・トップ20

Wonderful place, we come here at least once a year.

In principle, a nice idea for braving the tide and thus the lack of water at low tide. It's just not for cyclists passing through, as reckless, selfish cyclists have managed to push their bikes during the bathing season by ignoring the rules, so that bicycles are now completely banned from the areas around Büsum where you can see the water (or rather, the mudflats). According to my information, violating this ban is supposed to result in severe penalties, as the 'beach patrols' immediately call the police if a bicycle appears near the shore. They made an exception for my folded Brompton… 😉

A small place to rest with a beautiful view over the hollows.

The Scottish Highlanders are a peaceful breed of cattle. Everything is very slow and they don't fixate on them with their eyes. Then they get very curious. I also really liked the view of the birch forest. It may be that I'm spoiled at the moment. So I have to "earn" a hike's stars. The water areas are visited by anglers, and they drive right up to them in their cars. There are also too many tractors driving too fast on the supply routes.

Today, the landscape is characterized by a mosaic of water areas used for sport fishing, between agricultural grassland areas. The area, which is crossed by a network of paths, also includes reed beds and fen-like wet meadows.

Since 1972, the moor in the valley of the upper Broklandsau northeast of Heide has been designated a protected area covering an area of 283 hectares.

After the Second World War, peat was mined here on a large scale to a depth of six metres. This is how the peat pits, which are today's water surfaces, were created.

As the North Sea rose after the last ice age, the groundwater level began to rise, which led to the formation of peatlands, which was accelerated by the region's basin-like valley location. A huge raised bog was created.
