デルプシュテットの天然記念物・トップ20

The "Thyraburg" is located at a strategic corner of the Danevirke. The rectangular plateau lies at the end of the main wall and borders the lowland of Lake Dannevirke. It is now silted up. Can you see the former lakeshore in the landscape? The builders of the Danevirke cleverly incorporated the lake as a natural barrier. On the other bank, the northern and connecting walls meet.

Nice click

Take a break, relax and enjoy the beautiful view ... with mustard :-)

very informative tour through the moor landscape

Beautiful rest area with a small observation tower overlooking the moorland

Beautiful nature reserve. Today I'm going on a tour towards the west coast and not, as usual, to Angeln or Schwansen. A very nice round trip from/to Hollingstedt. I included Friedrichsstadt as an intermediate destination. The landscape is very varied. Lots of rivers and wetlands. Then a few meters of elevation on the last 20 kilometers.

The castle complex The "Thyraburg" is located at a strategic corner of the Danevirke. The rectangular plateau is at the end of the main wall and adjoins the lowland of the Dannevirke Lake. It is now silted up. Can you see the former lake shore in the landscape? The builders of the Danevirke cleverly incorporated the lake as a natural obstacle. On the other bank, the northern and connecting walls meet. The main wall was dated to 737 AD near this point, so it existed before the Viking Age. The age of the castle is unknown, however. It was later named after Queen Thyra Danebod. Thyra was the mother of Harald Bluetooth and wife of Gorm, the Danish kings of Jelling. There may have been some kind of fortification on the Thyraburg. A moat and a flat outer wall secured the complex on the three land sides. However, no Viking Age finds were found. What significance the Thyraburg had for the Danewerk remains a mystery.

Great 400 m long educational trail over planks with some benches.
