ゲンネベクの天然記念物・トップ20

This trail leads through the structurally rich wetland of the Kiebitzholmer Moor, formed by glacial meltwater that once deposited sand and gravel between Rickling and Daldorf. The watershed between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea now runs here: the Brandsau River flows to the Baltic Sea, and the Rothenmühlenau River flows via the Stör River to the North Sea. Those who experience nature with open eyes can discover small wonders: • 🐸 Moor frogs, whose males shimmer bright blue for a few days in spring • 🐭 Harvest mice, which build elaborate nests among reeds and grasses • 🪲 Red-necked silphiums, carrion beetles with reddish-brown pronotums – indicators of near-natural habitats.

As part of the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park, the Tarbek Moor with its special charm is a popular excursion destination that gives you a variety of impressions. With its diverse composition of ponds and vegetation-free peat banks, it offers undisturbed insights into a mysterious-looking habitat. A moor birch forest borders dark ponds surrounded by snakeroot, dead birch trees in water-filled peat pits rise picturesquely into the sky and fields of waving cotton grass are reminiscent of images from Nordic legends. In the 131-hectare area, which was previously used as a peat extraction area, remnants of this use can still be seen today and carefree cycling and hiking from the Tarbek Moor to the Ihlsee in Bad Segeberg is possible both along former routes that have been preserved to this day and along the railway embankment that connected Bad Segeberg, Bornhöved and Kiel until 1960. https://www.blunkerbach-sh.de/tarbeker-moor

After it had already been completely drained of peat, the Tarbek Moor was able to develop back into a diverse, species-rich moor complex thanks to the successful renaturation that began in 1991, in which even the otter is said to be native.

The Tarbek Moor can be walked around in 1 hour. ... if it didn't offer so many beautiful moments to pause and take a break.

The moor has the name: Kiebitzholmer Moor! (Not "Kiebitzholzer" bog) Nice and quiet there - a herd of Galloways is running around freely - similar to the Stellmoorer Tunneltal near Hamburg. Great atmosphere - worth checking out!

Here is a memorial stone for the assembly area and a picnic area overlooking the lake.

On a nice dirt road you suddenly come across this old oak tree and wonder how old it is.

Hey @Zimmi, I bouldered to the top, there was a fire at the top, there is ash, it was probably a lightning strike, you see that with ancient oaks occasionally.
