コーゲルの天然記念物・トップ20

The approximately 670 m long boardwalk offers various viewing platforms that invite you to linger. The moorland experience trail can generally be accessed from both sides. However, it is recommended to start below the Pahlhuus (Pahl House) and then return to the starting point at the end of the nature trail, around the old sports field. The entire circular trail is approximately 1.4 km long and, in my opinion, is wheelchair accessible. The moor provides a habitat for many specially adapted animals and plants. For example, the lime-loving bulrush covers a large area in the Zarrentin Moor; it is rarely seen in such large populations. The long, narrow leaves are slightly serrated at the edges and very hard due to the lime they absorb. This means that if you touch them too firmly, you can injure your fingers. The moorland was a cultivated landscape used by humans for a long time. From 1900 to 1961, lime was mined in the Zarrentin Moor and used as fertilizer or slaked lime. Until 1934, the extracted lime was burned in a lime kiln located on the southern edge of the moor. Peat, which was mined alongside the lime, was used as fuel, among other things. The rush cuttings were mown for the winter until the end of World War II and used as bedding for livestock. The waters created by lime mining are very low in nutrients and thus provide an ideal habitat for stoneworts, rare water beetles, and various dragonflies. Various amphibians, ducks, and birds such as the reed bunting, the reed warbler, and the kingfisher can be found in the reed beds along the shore. Source: https://www.schaalseestadt.de/moorlehrpfad

This bridge offers a beautiful view of two lakes: the Schaalsee on one side and the Kirchensee on the other. It is part of the approximately 4 km circular trail around the Kirchensee.

Here you can take a short break on the way through the moor and enjoy the peace and quiet

Impressive 300-year-old oak tree (https://www.monumentale-eichen.de/mecklenburg-vorpommern/3-kategorie/lassahn/) under which the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock once sat and wrote his poem in 15 verses during his stay on the small island of Stintenburg.

A very nice picnic spot.

Best all-round view over Kirchensee and Schaalsee

It's good that places like this keep being created. You can easily waste time here for a while

The bridge construction is finished and the new bridge turned out really nice.
