Small pond at the edge of the forest near Schwarzenbek

Highlight • Lake

A small, idyllic, unfortunately nameless pond by the forest
and a beautiful piece of nature on the outskirts of Schwarzenbek.

Stiftungswald Rülauer Holz

Highlight • Forest

Wood warbler, middle spotted woodpecker, Daubenton's bat – a variety of native plants and animals once again feel at home in the Rülauer Holz Foundation's land. This approximately 280-hectare section of the eastern Sachsenwald forest, designated a Natura 2000 site, has been part of the foundation's land since 2008. Since then, development workers from the Schleswig-Holstein Nature Conservation Foundation have been working here:
Rülauer Holz has largely been taken out of forestry use, and the natural water balance has been restored. Forest depressions were rewetted and ditches filled. Initial successes are already visible.
For example, the crane has returned to the area and bred there in 2016.
The recreated moist forest depressions are also very popular with moor frogs. The rewetting of the Rülauer Holz has significantly increased the moor frog population, as these amphibians thrive in the moist alder swamp forests with their fen-like character.

I was actually looking for the Linau spring, as it is recorded on the Komootkarte - I came across this rather high tower with the wind turbine - the Linau spring is not here, but a little further south of Schwarzenbek - the brook is now totally dried out in the great heat. There is no path here - you have to go cross-country.

This plaque commemorates the fact that the twin town of Schwarzenbek won the Europe Prize in 1961.

The Europe Prize is an award established in 1955 by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. It is presented annually to one or more municipalities that have made outstanding contributions to promoting the idea of European unity.

The Europe Prize is the highest of four awards given to a city or municipality for exceptional achievements in promoting the idea of European unity. The prize is awarded annually to one or two municipalities that already possess the Flag of Honour and the Plaque of Honour. The Europe Prize consists of a trophy, which remains in the winning municipality for one year, a bronze medal, a commemorative certificate, and a scholarship for young people from the winning municipality to participate in a study trip in Europe. The prize is presented by the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, in the presence of the Europe Prize Subcommittee, on the occasion of a Europe Day event organized by the municipality. In 1984, all cities awarded the European Prize joined together to form a working group of European Prize-winning cities.

Their representatives meet at least once a year.
