Mansholter Holz and Schippstroth Nature Reserve
Highlight • Forest
The forest area covers 330 hectares and is a historic old oak and hornbeam forest with outstanding conservation importance. The Geest carries valuable forest communities. The location is on the nutrient-rich, water-logging "Lauenburger Ton".
The forest (220 ha) is managed in a near-natural and sustainable manner, with the aim of species diversity, unevenness and gradation. The aim of this management is an ecologically stable forest.
The forest is ideal for walks, Nordic walking and nature hikes.

Fountain at Ellernteich, Rastede Castle Park
Highlight • Monument
Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig acquired the former monastery property in 1777, had the palace built in the classical style as a country house and commissioned the garden architect C.F. Bosse, son of the court gardener in Wolfenbüttel, with the creation of an English garden.
Peter Friedrich Ludwig, born in Eutin in 1755, started after an 8-year educational trip, during which he studied art and philosophy of antiquity, on a journey through Europe with 91 stops, including to Wörlitz and England, where he explored the first landscape gardens. As early as 1778 he made designs for the 10-hectare park and the park furnishings, including the Temple of Venus, which was built as a tea house in 1783. The castle served as the summer residence of the Oldenburg dukes and grand dukes. Successor Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August expanded the park around 1843 to include Ellernteich and Hirschpark. Today the palace garden is 330 hectares in size.
