Here, a small, narrow trail (on the embankment of an old railway line) leads through the bushes. Due to the widening of the A21/B404, construction is underway here, and a section of the trail has been removed – meaning: unfortunately, there will be no further access here at some point.

As early as 1264-1289, Neuwühren appeared in the "Kiel City Register" under the name de Javorn, which derives from the Old Polabite (a Slavic root) word Javor for maple. Shortly thereafter, it was renamed Nî-Jaworn, indicating that, as was common at the time, a German "new" village was founded alongside the Wendish one for the purpose of colonization. By 1460, the village was already called Nyenwörden—it was now only a short distance to Neuwühren. Like most of the surrounding villages, Neuwühren belonged to the Preetz Monastery. After the construction of the church there, Neuwühren became part of the Elmschenhagen parish. In 1931, the village was incorporated into the newly founded municipality of Pohnsdorf.

Parallel to the developed supply road, a hidden forest singletrack trail runs along the shore of Lake Flemhude. The rooty and winding trail is easily accessible even in summer. It has several dog bathing areas and ends at the bathing area where the lake meets the Kiel Canal. An absolutely worthwhile section.
