The Liether Kalkgrube is a former open-cast mine where limestone was mined. The Kalkgrube is geologically very interesting because the oldest rock layers in northern Germany come to the surface here. These layers were formed around 250 million years ago, in the Permian period. They consist mainly of limestone, claystone and sandstone.

The Stör estuary in Schleswig-Holstein is a scenic area where the Stör flows into the Elbe. The Stör is a major tributary of the Elbe and stretches approximately 85 kilometers from its source near Neumünster to its mouth near Wewelsfleth. The region around the Stör estuary offers numerous recreational opportunities and nature experiences. One of the main attractions is the Stör Barrage, which serves to protect the inland areas from flooding and storm surges. The barrage, built in the 1970s, regulates the water level of the Stör and protects the adjacent marshlands. For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous cycling and hiking trails along the Stör and its estuary. The Elbe Cycle Path and the Monks' Path lead directly through this region and offer magnificent views of the river landscape and passing ships on the Elbe.
