パデンシュテットの天然記念物・トップ20

You can easily walk along the ring wall of the historic site. A footpath winds through a double row of ancient oaks.

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.

The eastern part of the probably circular rampart, facing the lake, is now missing. The remaining rampart is interrupted by a gap of around 30 metres in the west. The entire complex is around 1.5 metres above the level of the surrounding fields, and the rampart is up to four metres high. The remaining parts are covered with a row of oak trees, but are still clearly visible. The town of Neumünster has placed the area under landscape protection. The inner castle consists of an open grassy area. Paths lead along the rampart and through the inner castle.

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)

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.

Bay at the Schanze.
