Small bodies of water are valuable habitats that often house rare aquatic and marsh plants as well as numerous animal species – including dragonflies and amphibians, which spend their larval stages here. On the Geest, many of these bodies of water are artificial, such as marl pits or livestock watering holes. Due to landscape change and intensive agriculture, many have disappeared, particularly affecting amphibians. A newly created pond with shallow banks, a sunny location, and nearby woodland now provides favorable conditions for their reproduction.

In the middle of the heath stands a large oak tree. Next to it is a bench where you can sit and relax. From here, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the heath.

The shaping power of glacial meltwater from the area of present-day Lake Plön shaped the landscape between Rickling and Daldorf. The water flowing westward deposited sand and carved out the "Trappenkamp Sander." This allows heather to grow here. Tip: The heather blooms from August 8th to September 9th.

This trail leads through the richly structured wetland of the Kiebitzholmermoor, formed by glacial meltwater that once deposited sand and gravel between Rickling and Daldorf. Today, this is where the watershed between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea runs: the Brandsau flows to the Baltic Sea, and the Rothenmühlenau flows via the Stör to the North Sea. This trail is shared with the Galloways.

Those who experience nature with open eyes can discover small wonders: • 🐸 Moor frogs, whose males shimmer bright blue for a few days in spring • 🐭 Harvest mice, which build elaborate nests among reeds and grasses • 🪲 Red-necked silphiums, carrion beetles with reddish-brown pronotums – indicators of near-natural habitats.
