뉴펠트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪3‬개의 호수

Kudensee is a municipality in the Steinburg district in Schleswig-Holstein, and also the name of the largest lake in the Dithmarschen district. The Kudensee, with an area of 38.9 hectares, has been a nature reserve since 1935 and has been expanded to 172 hectares since 1992. The lake is the last shallow-water lake in the Elbe marshes and an important European bird sanctuary. It provides a habitat for numerous bird species, including the rare bittern, and serves as a resting place for many migratory birds. The Kudensee is characterized by its extensive reed beds, remnants of marsh forest and willow bushes. The bottom of the lake consists of both soft mud and hard sand. Due to its shallow depth of a maximum of 1.2 meters, the lake has an almost uniform temperature and oxygen distribution, except when the ice is closed, which can be unfavorable for the fish. The fish species living in the lake include bream, white bream, roach, perch, ruffe, eel, pike and zander.

A small park in the city. With a piece of forest, a pond, benches and a large meadow, which becomes a festival area for a weekend in the summer for the city park festival.

Since nature is still in order very quiet to relax.

The Kudensee is the last surviving Dithmarscher See, which was once formed from sea bays. Today the Kudensee has a water area of around 40 hectares and is home to a large number of different marsh and water birds.

The path is only recommended in dry weather. The view of the landscape and the Kudensee is great. Since this place cannot be reached by car, it is correspondingly quiet and peaceful here. There is a bench to sit on and enjoy nature.

Interesting moorland.

As early as 1938, the Kudensee and its surroundings were placed under protection. The entire area covers an area of 246 hectares. The water surface of the lake with its reed zones as well as the former rinsing fields and wet grasslands in the south in the communities of Kuden and Averlak serve to preserve endangered plant and animal communities of an inland lake typical of the marshland. In the post-ice age, a sheltered sea bay with extensive marshland and shallow water areas was created between the spit and the edge of the Geest. Since the middle of the 18th century, the natural silting process of this shallow lake has been accelerated by drainage measures. The lake area was reduced to 500 hectares in 1722, finally to today's 25 hectares, at a depth of 0.30 - 0.80 meters at the end. In 1983 the water depth was brought to two meters and the Friedrichshöfer Au was directed around the lake. A good overview of the Kudensee can be obtained from a vantage point on the Geestkante in the village of Kuden. In the reserve itself, a wooden viewing platform on the western edge of the lake invites you to observe nature. In addition to reed warblers and various types of duck, the bearded tit, bittern, marsh harrier and great crested grebe regularly breed in the dense reed beds. The damp meadows in the area still offer a home to threatened bird species such as the lapwing. The wet grasslands are cultivated extensively by farmers and, with the help of smaller dams, develop excellently for breeding or resting water and meadow birds. A pair of white-tailed eagles has been raising their young here regularly for several years. https://www.echt-dithmarschen.de/typisch-dithmarschen/sehenswuerdheiten/details/naturschutzgebiet-kudensee/
