Ice Man Woman Topic: The Flood (Genesis 7) The ice ages were, as the Brockhaus of 1889 put it, the floods of the north. The end of the last ice age was about 10,000 years ago. The ice masses retreated from the North German lowlands and left behind boulders, stone descendants of the granite masses of Scandinavia, which were once used by our ancestors for ritual or cultic purposes. The granite sculpture at the lock to the Jade Bay, the ice man woman, looks over the dike to the north, to the place of her origins, her homeland. Standing tall between the sea and inland waters - waters that represent the two rivers of the Bible, the Euphrates and the Tigris. So He-She is both a symbol of the flood of the north and its end. Children in particular enjoy discovering a snowman, especially in summer. But how long – considering the increasing global warming – will they be able to build snowmen and snowwomen? In this respect, the sculpture is also a memorial. The snowman is dedicated to my disabled daughter Tina, who often visits him and who enjoys it. May he bring joy to all people, disabled and non-disabled alike. (Source: https://www.eckartgrenzer.de/2003/eis-mann-frau/)

History The park was founded by the farmer Dietrich Gerhard Hobbie (1899-1985), who was inspired to become a gardener after the First World War by Karl Foerster's book "The Flower Garden of the Future". The evergreen and richly flowering rhododendrons became his favorites. In the 1920s he began collecting wild rhododendron species and sowing them in the family forest under pines and oaks. He visited famous English parks and breeders who owe their particular fame to rhododendrons (Exbury Gardens, Kew Gardens, Wisley and E.J.P. Magor in Cornwall) and began selecting the best types from the wild forms and breeding flowering and hardy varieties. His breeding includes: Wild forms Rh. wardii (Breslau, Ehrengold, Herzas and Linsweger Gold) Rh. Williamsianum (August Lamken, Garden Director Rieger, Oldenburg, Garden Director Glocker and City of Essen) Rh. Repens (Scarlet Wonder, Baden-Baden, Bad Eilsen)

The salt marsh adventure trail in Sehestedt leads from the dike entrance at the "Floating Moor" through the salt marshes to the Wadden Sea of the Jade Bay via Sehestedt back. On the 5km long circular trail, which can be walked in about 1.5 to 2 hours, over 30 information boards provide detailed information about the natural history of the Jade Bay. The range of topics ranges from the formation of the Jade Bay to the importance of the salt marshes as a breeding and resting area for birds to the special adaptations of plants and animals to this habitat characterized by extremes. Of course, there is also detailed information about the Wadden Sea and its inhabitants. Interesting facts are also reported about the cultural and historical aspects of land reclamation and dike construction.

In 1938, the "Floating Moor" was finally placed under nature conservation for geological, botanical, zoological and local history reasons, after some parts of the area had already been protected in previous years. This area has been part of the "Lower Saxony Wadden Sea" National Park since 1986 and has therefore been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. In 2007, an international youth group and the "Meyershof" youth workshops in the Wesermarsch district laid out a boardwalk that leads to an observation and information hut.

When can you see the moor floating? Floating up is a rare occurrence. The prerequisite is a heavy storm or hurricane flood from the northwest, where the water rises more than 1.70 m above mean high tide (MTHw) and there is heavy seas. In Sehestedt the MTHw is + 1.79 above sea level. Adding 1.70 m gives 3.49 m. The water is then at least 1.15 m high on the salt marsh in front. The moor rises when the salt water has almost reached the moor surface. The buoyancy is so strong that everything that is on the moor is lifted with it, in the past also the houses and wells. When floating up, the break-off point between the high and low moor is about 3.10 m below the surface of the moor and thus more than 1 m deeper than the salt marshes in front of it. If the moors break off and are washed away, deep moor holes remain that fill with water.

During the Ice Age, stones from Scandinavia reached northern Germany - such as the 217-ton Elbe boulder. Today, visitors to the Mineralogical Museum can learn more about this geological migration

Actually, there is already a highlight here and you shouldn't create another one. But it is a good place to rest or as a shelter from the rain. The hut is nicer from the outside than from the inside.
