Rodenbeker Quellentag - Gasthaus Quellhof, great place to stop for refreshments with beer garden

The Rodenbek is a river that flows into the Alster in the Rodenbeker Quellental nature reserve. The idyllic Rodenbeker pond along its course is managed by the Rahlstedt sports fishing association from 1934 e.V. and is the habitat of numerous fish species, such as carp, eel and perch. kulturlotse.de/ort/rodenbeker-teich-3806401676914271620

Cheerful birdsong accompanies you through the beautiful deciduous forest. The frogs are croaking in the pond.

The Rodenbeker Quellental nature reserve is an 84-hectare glacial meltwater river system in northeast Hamburg. It lies in the former edge area of the Vistula glaciation. Locally there are elevations in the form of ground moraines. The site elevation is between 15 and 20 meters above mean sea level. The site was granted protected status on January 25, 1977, originally measuring 47 hectares. On July 26, 2011, the Hamburg Senate announced an expansion by 37 hectares to 84 hectares. In the Quellental there are extensive deposits from an ice reservoir, which are now cut through by various smaller basins, small rivers. These are the Rodenbek, the Bredenbek, the Lottbek, the Mühlenbek and other small streams. All flow in an east-west direction to the Alster, a northern tributary of the Elbe. The formation of the Rodenbeker Quellental began in the Weichselian Ice Age, when the Bredenbek Glacier slowly retreated and the meltwater at the base of the glacier found its way to the Alster. The current appearance of the spring valley is also due to spring erosion. (Source: Wikipedia)

Visitors can explore Schleswig-Holstein's largest raised bog on a nearly four-kilometer-long nature trail. It leads over soft peat soil, through birch forests, and along a boardwalk. Information boards along the trail provide information about the extraordinary flora and fauna. At three different locations, vantage points offer a beautiful view of the moor lake and the former peat mining areas.

You also regularly cross the tracks of the peat railway when you go for a walk. Incidentally, trips with the Lorenbahn are offered on certain dates. That must be a great experience too.

The third viewing platform is at the northern end of Nulldamm in an area called Kleiner Knust.

Deer, rabbits and birds can be seen in the evening.
