オスターレンフェルトの天然記念物・トップ20

From the "Wildes Moor" viewing hill, a sweeping view opens up over the almost treeless raised moor and green landscape, interspersed with renaturalized bodies of water. The atmosphere is particularly mystical in the morning with ground mist and the rising sun. A circular trail allows you to experience the unique flora and fauna: patches of cotton grass and sphagnum moss, bracken, and moor grass alternate, providing habitat for approximately 50 breeding bird species and various dragonflies and grasshoppers.

The Sorgwohld dunes near Owschlag have been a nature reserve (identification number 11) along the Sorgeniederung since 1936. The dunes were formed during the late and postglacial periods, approximately 12,000 years ago.

Geographical center of Schleswig-Holstein: On May 18, 2001, the mayor of Nortorf, Hans-Helmut Köppe, unveiled the center, which is now marked with a millstone bearing the inscription "The center of Schleswig-Holstein". Next to the millstone are two pillars bearing the coat of arms of Nortorf and Schleswig-Holstein.

This is where the geographical center of SH is located... there are rest areas and bicycle parking spaces. The covered rest area was set up as part of the signposted e-bike tour with a view "Mittelpunkttour". A project that is funded by the EU. https://wfg-rd.de/news/neue-e-bike-touren-im-kreis-rendsburg-eckernfoerde-eroeffnet/

What is striking is the massive occurrence of reeds in the wide bank zone.

The inland dunes of Sorgwohld were formed at the end of the Late Ice Age around 12k years ago when sand from the Owschlager Sanders was blown together to form mighty dunes by strong ice winds. So today we can enjoy the common heather here in the middle of the sand dunes. Tip: heather blossom 08.08.-09.09.

The Rümlandteich is also an exciting nature reserve with beautiful views of the pond and a great oasis for waterfowl and Co. 😊...
