ブライホルツの天然記念物・トップ18

Be careful, the paths are soft and wet even during prolonged dry periods!

Here, you have to bypass a pasture. The grass is extremely high, and the path itself is barely visible. This requires a good feel for the road, leg strength, and a good dose of intuition.

According to legend, the people of Fockbek actually wanted to drown an eel (Low German: “versupen”) because, according to legend, it ate all the herring!

Nice and quiet place, good place to take a break

Great fountain sculpture for Fockbek's legend of Aalversupen.

Very nice place for a little break.

The pristine depths of the earth still preserve much that is undiscovered. We owe our good spring water to Mother Nature. In Nindorf the Kimberquelle brings gut2 to light. You can discover how and where for yourself on site. This very special source was discovered quite by accident when drilling for oil in Nindorf in 1884. When the builders penetrated the marl layer, they encountered an artesian water vein. Since then it has been bubbling up all by itself. An artesian well was then built, which supplied the neighboring community of Remmels with water between 1913 and 1972. Of course, the local women also used this unfiltered, iron-rich water for washing. However, due to the high iron content in the water, their laundry never really turned white - which is why they were called the "grey mice of Remmels". For this reason, in the 1970s, the women in the area pushed through to have their drinking water supply connected to the public drinking water network. Apparently they didn't realize at the time how good their water actually was. The water tower in Remmels, which is under monument protection, still bears witness to these times. http://www.gutzwei.de/de/quelle/

This little detour is definitely worth it.
