リーゼブッシュ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Apart from the raised embankment, unfortunately not much else can be seen. A shelter offers protection and a place to rest.

A beautiful path through untouched forest... for most of the way the trail runs above the pretty Schwartau river...

The old trees that flanked the root sections fell victim to the saw this year – before the ravages of time could take them down. It looks a bit bleak, but it's still fun, of course. (The fat stumps could maybe be used as a drop sometime 🤔😇)

You can also go up (at least if you avoid the biggest root steps - it's not that steep), but going down is of course much more fun!

The Wilhelmsquelle is actually rather insignificant, but it is mentioned as a location in Thomas Mann's novel Buddenbrooks. This gives it a certain fame. According to the information board, the water should not be drunk, as it is only a seepage spring.

Several springs rise from the Riesebusch ridge - including the "Wilhelmsquelle" (named after Wilhelm Jensen - a friend of Emanuel Geibel), which Thomas Mann mentions in the novel Buddenbrooks. The Riesebusch and the Wilhelmsquelle were immortalized in literature by Thomas Mann in the novel Buddenbrooks (6th section) or in Ludwig Ewers' Die Väterstadt. On the excursion described there, they hike through the Riesebusch to the Wilhelmsquelle. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesebusch

The castle complex is located on the Langen Hörn. The hill is surrounded on three sides by the Schwartau, so the castle never had any great fortifications. Not much is known, but it was probably owned by the bishop, who administered the diocese from Old Lübeck. The castle complex is several hundred meters long and can be walked along its entire length. The ramparts that separated the castle sections from each other are still clearly visible.
