ツァルペンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

These are abandoned explosives bunkers from the Cold War era. Each one could contain up to 5 tons of explosives, secured behind three to four armored doors. These depots were unguarded but regularly checked. The military strategy at the time was to delay the advance of an invading enemy as effectively as possible. The most common barriers were blast shafts, which were sunk into strategically important roads and bridges during construction. The initially empty shafts could be quickly filled with explosives from such nearby depot bunkers. This meant that the road or bridge could be blown up and rendered impassable "if necessary." Until the 1990s, there were around 6,000 such barriers throughout West Germany. Since then, these barriers have been abandoned and, in many places, dismantled.

Great view of Lübeck

The moor pond near Heilshoop is a beautiful place to breathe and enjoy. Surrounded by moorland and ancient trees, it offers a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for a break on your hike. Especially on sunny days, the sky and clouds are beautifully reflected in the water—a true nature experience.

The Evangelical Church of Zarpen is a brick Gothic church in Zarpen, begun in 1221, which was built in the 13th century as the parish church of this early medieval main town and for the surrounding villages of the former Reinfeld Monastery in what is now the Nordstormarn district.

Beautiful biotope

Beautiful, protected place for the bats...

The Struckteich has only existed in its current form for about 25 years. For decades, attempts were made to drain this area and convert it into arable land. It was not until 1997 that the decision was made to dam the Holstenbek again and convert it into this beautiful biotope.

Largely forgotten after the end of the Cold War, shelters have been on everyone's lips again since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There are no such public shelters in Stormarn today. What has become of the bunkers in the district? Once a storage place for ammunition, now home to bats 🦇🦇🦇
