Particularly charming is the Servant Gallery, with its depictions of the apostles. These paintings were discovered by chance during renovations in the 1960s. A treasure.

The parish church in Jevenstedt was first documented in 1164. The interior of St. George's Church in Jevenstedt features a Baroque pulpit altar from the 18th century and a Romanesque baptismal font. The simple furnishings are complemented by a few sacred works of art, including statues of saints and simple stained glass windows. It currently hosts a "Tritt-ein!" (Come in!) event every Saturday.

The Oldenbüttel Canal Ferry is a small cable-stayed ferry that transports pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles across the Kiel Canal. It uses the water current and a taut wire cable to enable the canal crossing without its own propulsion.

This tour went south of the Kiel Canal, mostly through forest and fields - but near Brammer I got really confused by the very rough terrain (sometimes I had to push) in the fenced-in area of a large stud farm (despite the satnav or because of it) - I walked along the fence several times and couldn't get out properly. I also failed at the closed gate and ended up going back the same way (which I really don't like doing). But it was fun - because for me the journey is always the destination....
