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.

At 76.8 meters, the Boxberg is not the highest elevation in the Aukrug Nature Park, but it is one of the few moraine peaks in central Holstein that deserves the name "mountain." The Itzespitze, at 83.4 meters, is even higher than the Boxberg. Today, only a few beech trees grow on the grounds of the Boxberg recreational forest.

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.

A pleasant microclimate is created by the ponds, it is definitely worth stopping here for a picnic. For example on the numerous boardwalks.

Unfortunately, the heather was not yet blooming

There isn't just one lake here
