January 28, 2025, Lübsche Trade – Alter Handelsweg Lübeck–Tondern

The Lübeck Trade was an important trade route in the Middle Ages that connected the cities of Lübeck and Hamburg. Several memorial stones along this route commemorate its historical importance.

The Borgdorfer See is particularly popular with children. They will find great opportunities to really let off steam here. There is a football pitch, a beach volleyball court and a bouncy cushion. In the water, slides, a pontoon and many water figures ensure great fun. Of course, there is also a kiosk for those who are a little hungry. Parents have a good view of their children from the small terrace. In addition, the bathing area at the Borgdorfer See is partially guarded by the DLRG. You will find the Borgdorfer See near the town of Nortorf. An absolutely family-friendly bathing area in terms of entrance and kiosk prices. https://www.tourismus-naturpark-westensee.de/freizeit/badeseen

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.

This is where the geographical center of SH is located... there are rest areas and bicycle parking spaces. The covered rest area was set up as part of the signposted e-bike tour with a view "Mittelpunkttour". A project that is funded by the EU. https://wfg-rd.de/news/neue-e-bike-touren-im-kreis-rendsburg-eckernfoerde-eroeffnet/
