ザルフーゼンの天然記念物・トップ20

The Aukrug Nature Park is a 380-square-kilometer nature park located in the center of the German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein, in the Holstein region. From its founding until 2013, it was managed by a joint association of both districts, which transferred management to the Aukrug Nature Park Association in 2014.

The Lübeck Trade was an important trade route in the Middle Ages that connected the cities of Lübeck and Hamburg. Several memorial stones along this route commemorate its historical importance.

At 76.8 meters, the Boxberg is not the highest elevation in the Aukrug Nature Park, but it is one of the few moraine peaks in central Holstein that deserves the name "mountain." The Itzespitze, at 83.4 meters, is even higher than the Boxberg. Today, only a few beech trees grow on the grounds of the Boxberg recreational forest.

There were no Heck cattle to be seen today.

While we can no longer imagine our landscape without the road network that cuts through everything, we may well ask ourselves at this point: When and for what purpose did all this come about? Why did people want and need to get from A to B at certain times? Peaceful trade is definitely preferable to warlike reasons.

The pond was drained and the Sellbek stream was given a new bed. The stream now meanders through the former pond bed. (May 2024)

The spirited Heck cattle from ERNA e. V. are very similar to the extinct Ur. But no matter their origin, the calves are just too cute and anyone who finds the animals should definitely spend a few minutes with them. However, you can never predict exactly which pasture they are on or whether they are within sight.

Especially now for the blueberry & heather blossom very nice! Natural hiking trails. The Sellbek has its headwaters and upper course here. This seems to have just been renatured.
