에델락 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

As children, we used to jump and slide down a narrow sandy path directly from the Bismarck Stone to the Käthnersvierth.

As a result of the strong melting of glaciers at the end of the last ice age (Weichsel), the sea level rose sharply and the western edge of Schleswig-Holstein's geest formed the coastline. In some places, such as the Barlter Kleve (Kleve = cliff, steep coast) near Gudendorf with a drop of 20 m, at the Kleve of Sankt Michaelisdonn (30 m drop) and between Kuden and Burg, the original cliffs formed by the surf are still visible.

The "Kleve" nature reserve, located southeast of St. Michaelisdonn in the Hopen district of Dithmarschen, has existed as such since November 8, 1962. Parts of the "Hoper or Donner Kleve" were bought by a nature conservation association as early as 1914, and then placed under the protection ordinance under the Reich Nature Conservation Act in 1938. At 11.9 hectares, it is certainly one of the smallest nature reserves in Schleswig-Holstein, but due to its animal and plant populations, it is a real treasure trove.

The Kudensee pumping station is an important technical structure in Schleswig-Holstein, which was built in 1895 during the construction of the Kiel Canal. It is used to drain the surrounding marshlands and ensures that the water from the catchment area is drained into the canal. The catchment area covers around 7,978 hectares. The pumping station was newly built in 2003/2004 and renovated in 2022 to meet current technical requirements. It has three pumps with a total discharge capacity of 6.0 m³/s, each of which can pump 2.0 m³/s. These powerful pumps ensure effective drainage and flood protection for the region. Kudensee itself is a small community in the Steinburg district, which is known not only for the pumping station but also for its attractive surroundings. The region around Lake Kudensee is an important nature reserve that provides habitat for a variety of bird species and rare plants. The reed zones and wet meadows in particular are important biotopes for numerous waders and water birds as well as protected plant species.

Hopen Airfield, officially known as St. Michaelisdonn Airfield, is a public airfield in the municipality of Sankt Michaelisdonn in the district of Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein. This airfield has a long history dating back to before World War II, when it was originally used as a glider airfield. After the war, the airfield was rebuilt and expanded, and in 1960 it was officially approved as a public airfield. Today, the airfield is operated by the Dithmarscher Air Sports Club, which maintains a modern fleet of powered and glider aircraft. The airfield has two runways and offers comprehensive training facilities for glider and powered aircraft pilots. In addition to regular flight operations, the airfield is also the venue for various events, such as drag racing and air shows. The airfield is scenically located on the Klevrücken and offers visitors impressive views and a variety of recreational opportunities. Common aircraft fuels are available for passengers, and air traffic controllers are happy to provide tips for excursions in the surrounding area.

The climb is worth it because you have a wide view of the marshland from Spiekerberg.
