The chalk canal was formerly used to transport mining products to the Itzehoer Stör harbor. I believe that in earlier times, the barges were still towed by horses.

This monument was stolen not long ago. Some scrap dealer must have accepted it. Anyone who knows anything about the whereabouts of the work of art should please inform the police. It is really a pity about this bronze sculpture. (I myself helped with the installation back then)

The Nordoe Inland Dunes are now a 407-hectare nature reserve and part of the National Natural Heritage. The area is characterized by a mix of diverse habitats: open sandy areas, heathlands, and wetlands. There are both pine-covered inland dunes and scrub-like oak woodlands. The Nordoe Inland Dunes are an important refuge for rare and endangered animal and plant species. The ecosystem depends on the nutrient-poor conditions and open landscape. To maintain these conditions, the area is now managed through extensive grazing with Galloways, Highland cattle, and Exmoor ponies.

Also called the Moor Canal. Chalk products were once transported through this channel.
