Tips from the Community
This remarkable boulder presumably reached the Dithmarscher Geest during the penultimate ice age 200,000 years ago. In the course of the preparations for the Kiel Canal from 1907 to 1914, the stone, with a length of 3.50 meters, a diameter of 2.00 meters, and a weight of 25 tons, came to light.

The Paradiestal was formed by the difference in elevation between the higher Geest (forested dune landscape) and the lower Klevfuß, on the border with Wilstermarsch. This created a flat, gently sloping valley, which is now traversed by a natural spring watercourse and surrounded by forest and meadow areas. The area is considered a quiet hiking and nature experience part of the „Naturerlebnisregion Burg“: the circular hiking trail No. 6 leads through the Paradiestal, among other things, along biotopes, a mixed orchard and forest, past the so-called upper Klevhang.

As children, we used to jump and slide down a narrow sandy path directly from the Bismarck Stone to the Käthnersvierth.

The Kudensee pumping station is an important technical structure in Schleswig-Holstein, which was built in 1895 during the construction of the Kiel Canal. It is used to drain the surrounding marshlands and ensures that the water from the catchment area is drained into the canal. The catchment area covers around 7,978 hectares. The pumping station was newly built in 2003/2004 and renovated in 2022 to meet current technical requirements. It has three pumps with a total discharge capacity of 6.0 m³/s, each of which can pump 2.0 m³/s. These powerful pumps ensure effective drainage and flood protection for the region. Kudensee itself is a small community in the Steinburg district, which is known not only for the pumping station but also for its attractive surroundings. The region around Lake Kudensee is an important nature reserve that provides habitat for a variety of bird species and rare plants. The reed zones and wet meadows in particular are important biotopes for numerous waders and water birds as well as protected plant species.
