There is a slightly larger parking lot here, which is not shown on the komoot map.
In Büschauer Holz there are predominantly non-native coniferous forest trees that were planted to reforest the heather. On the north-western edge of the forest, however, there are still old oak-beech forests, which represent the old original trees and are more than 200 years old. In large parts, this population grows along the edge of the slope of the Treene and consists of many gnarled tree shapes with twisted trunks and multiple crowns. Sometimes very rustic to look at. Large parts of this forest area have been removed from forestry use as natural forests.
Several hiking and riding trails run through Büschauer Holz, most of which are not shown on the komoot map. As a local recreation area for hikers and riders, it is very important, since the forest areas in the north of Schleswig-Holstein are not so lush. During our hike, however, the area was not heavily frequented. Except for three riders and a few walkers, we were almost alone.
It is also worth mentioning that there is a bridle path right next to the "Schiftenweg" road so that you do not have to walk on the road. (is not registered with komoot). Whereby the term "street" is a bit exaggerated. I would say "broad paved road". But still, you can rather walk next to it on sand, are separated from the road by a bend and have the feeling of still being in the forest.
In any case, it is worth exploring the forest area. Not least because of the fantastic hiking trail along the Treene.
