Shortly before reaching Neustadt, a narrow path leads through the inland waterway... Parts of it are now silted up and are occupied by cattle pastures...

The Neustadt inland water is a lake that dried up partly due to silting and partly artificially. The lake originally extended far beyond the A1, for the construction of which the former lake bed was filled. The inland water was also important for the first settlers in this region, who fished here. Some evidence of this was found in the Neustadt harbor. The lake is mainly fed by fresh water, but there has only been a narrow connection to the Baltic Sea - incidentally, only for 2000 years.

A sculpture symposium takes place in Neustadt in Holstein every three years. Six sculptors of international standing will then create sculptures from East Holstein granite boulders under the eyes of onlookers, which will be exhibited in the public space of the city of Neustadt in Holstein. Locals and guests can look over the artists' shoulders for two weeks as the works of art are created and experience live how art is created.
