Beautiful hike in August when the heather is in bloom.

Beautiful in August!

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.

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!

The Sorgwohlder inland dunes near Owschlag have been a nature reserve along the Sorge lowlands since 1936. It extends from Sorgwohld in a northeasterly direction. The dunes were formed in the late and post-glacial periods around 12,000 years ago. A constant ice wind blew the sand from the erosion edges, created by meltwater that had severely eroded the Owschlager Sander in Sorgetal, into mighty dunes. Today it can be assumed that parts of the Sorgwohlde inland dunes have been almost devoid of vegetation since the Ice Age. Humans have cultivated this landscape through grazing and farming since around 1000 AD. fundamentally shaped. The farmers in the sandy areas used the soil removed by pests to litter the stables and then fertilize their one-sidedly cultivated fields. Plowing and removing heather and other ground litter removed nutrients from the soil. This meant that the heather was always able to sprout new crops and germinate its sun-loving seeds better. The Ochsenweg also had an influence on the area. At Sorgwohld he crossed the worry. Large storage areas had to be available at such water points. The cattle kept churning up the ground. The Sorgwohlder inland dunes with their heaths and silver grass and lichen meadows, which are unique to Schleswig-Holstein and are home to a number of insects and spider species that are threatened with extinction.

Super nice path with a great view

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: plan your visit to the heather blossom from 08.08.-09.09.

Here the Baltic Sea 💦 or the Eckernförde Bay shows itself from one of its most beautiful sides. A beautiful sight and a magnificent view. The path leads through beech forests and along the coast!
