Brunstorf Village Pond

Highlight • Lake

The bench by the idyllic village pond invites you to take a break.
Many carp swim in the village pond, which are traditionally caught with a net the day before the day of penance and prayer. Only the big carp over 2 kilos stay outside and are prepared for the big carp meal in Bruhn's Gasthof. The little fish come back into the pond.

St. Elisabeth Church Brunstorf

Highlight • Religious Site

The Elisabeth Church in Brunstorf is the oldest in the area. It dates from 1777 and was built on the remains of a previous church. The same size, unhewn field stones that can be seen on the north wall of the church in the lower western part are evidence of this.
The church has a wonderful "starry sky" and also a baptismal angel, which can be lowered thanks to a restoration. So he brings the baptismal bowl "straight from heaven".

Bölkau Stream

Highlight • River

The hiking trail leads here across the Bölkau. According to the Komoot map it looks like the Bölkau spring is located here. But that is not the case, as you can see on site. The source is a little further southwest in the forest.

The Bölkau is a small stream in the southern district of the Duchy of Lauenburg. The stream has its source in the Rülauer Forst, southwest of Schwarzenbek. It flows north and crosses under the B207. After 1.6 km the Bölkau flows into the Schwarze Bek at the Schwarzenbeker sewage treatment plant, not Beke, as it is named in the Komoot map. The Schwarze Bek then flows a little further into the Schwarze Au.

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.

Old School Brunstorf

Highlight • Historical Site

Then as now, the townscape is characterized by agriculture, old half-timbered houses, and the church.

This is also reflected in the town's coat of arms.

The old school is a particularly beautiful and well-restored half-timbered house, situated directly on a small, idyllic pond.
