シェーンホルストのおすすめランニングルート

Here, a small, narrow trail (on the embankment of an old railway line) leads through the bushes. Due to the widening of the A21/B404, construction is underway here, and a section of the trail has been removed – meaning: unfortunately, there will be no further access here at some point.

A wide view of the lake, which you probably can't get any closer to from this side.

The Eider's source is located a short distance away, around the Schönhagen and Löhnsdorf estates. The river then flows into Lake Bothkamp. Here in Bissee, the local history association has an informative information board about it.

The headwaters of the Eider, the "Dröge(n) Eider", flows into Lake Bothkamper coming from the south and leaves it in the southwest near Bissee with the name "Eider". The Bothkamper See and its surroundings are part of the FFH area, the area of the "Upper Eider including lakes", which includes the entire upper reaches of the Eider from the Bothkamper See to the eighth weir.

The wooden bridge over the Drögen Eider has been renovated. You can continue cycling through the private property towards Siek / Gut Bothkamp.

Beautiful, leisurely route through nature
