IMPORTANCE OF THE BOXBERG SPRING The cold, clean spring water provides a habitat for specialized animals such as freshwater shrimp and caddisfly larvae. Because it is low in nutrients, they depend on leaves and wood from native deciduous trees – they cannot utilize needle litter. A good reason for converting forests to mixed deciduous forests – to protect this special habitat.

THE BOXBERG SPRING This small pond is fed by a spring at the bottom, with no surface water inflow. Such pond springs are typical of the Aukrug and form when rainwater hits clayey, water-retaining layers and then flows out again.

At 76.8 meters, the Boxberg is not the highest elevation in the Aukrug Nature Park, but it is one of the few moraine peaks in central Holstein that deserves the name "mountain." The Itzespitze, at 83.4 meters, is even higher than the Boxberg. Today, only a few beech trees grow on the grounds of the Boxberg recreational forest.

While we can no longer imagine our landscape without the road network that cuts through everything, we may well ask ourselves at this point: When and for what purpose did all this come about? Why did people want and need to get from A to B at certain times? Peaceful trade is definitely preferable to warlike reasons.
