ダメンドルフの天然記念物・トップ20

After the burial forest, the path leads directly along the cliff edge, offering magnificent views across Eckernförde Bay... After storms, it can happen that sections of the coast are washed away and the path is temporarily no longer there.

It is always worth hiking in the area of the Schlei, like here at the narrowest point of the Schlei, and enjoying the peace and quiet while hiking and listening to the birds.

The Schlei Nature Park is the northernmost of its kind in Germany. The Schlei region is a true natural paradise and home to numerous animal and plant species. With a unique mix of freshwater, brackish, and saltwater habitats, embedded in a diverse cultural landscape, it offers extraordinary diversity. The cultural landscape of the Schlei has been significantly shaped by the people who live and farm here. Today, the Schlei separates two very different landscapes: Angeln and Schwansen. The hilly landscape of Angeln is particularly characterized by small-scale agriculture and a dense hedgerow structure. The nature park was established in 2008 and covers an area of 500 square kilometers. You can find more information here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-schlei-2.

The deepest point of the Windebyer Noor[2], at 13.6 metres, is in the north of the lake near the Eckernförde district of Carlshöhe; in the middle, the lake is eleven metres deep. The water of the Windebyer Noor is slightly saline (in different places between over one and a good two PSU[3]). Bulges of the Windebyer Noor are called Schnaaper Bucht (Snap Bugt), Norderhake (Nørrehage), Süderhake (Sønderhage), Südbucht (Sydbugt)[4] and Kochendorfer Bucht.[5] The Norderhake was the connecting arm of the Windebyer Noor to the Eckernförde city harbour.

The Windebyer Noor (obsolete: Eckernförder Noor, Schna(a)per Noor and Goos-Noor; Danish: Vindeby Nor, Low German: Winnebyer Noor, Winneby-Noor) is a 389 hectare inland lake in Schleswig-Holstein. It is located on the western edge of the town of Eckernförde, to whose municipal area it belongs. To the south and west, the eponymous municipality of Windeby borders the shore of the lake. Former residents of the lake were the municipality of Borby until its incorporation in 1934 (Borby exclave Schnaap) and the municipality of Gammelby until 1973 (Grasholz).

It has now happened: large sections of the path, which ran directly along the edge, have collapsed, taking numerous trees with them. Part of it has been cordoned off with barrier tape – which is now quite damaged. A narrow alternative path runs alongside the original one. It is very sad and frightening, but walkable – however, definitely not recommended for strollers or people with mobility impairments!

Of course, you are not allowed to enter the nature reserve, so the first photos posted here are not (anymore) possible. Instead, you go through the forest, which is also OK.

A really wonderful place to hike.
