Reconstructed Stegelsch Crossing

Highlight • Structure

A “Stegelsch” (Low German) is an opening in the fence or bend that makes it easy to climb over. In the past, many paths led over pastures. People could use these Stegelsche to get over the fence or bend unhindered, while the cattle avoided the crossing.

Kolonistenhof

Highlight • Historical Site

Why is it called “colonists”?

Southern Germany was in the middle of the 18th century. a population surplus and many people emigrated to Eastern Europe, including Russia. But with the start of the Seven Years' War in 1756, this path was closed.
Here the Danish king saw his chance to populate the poorer land in the Schlewigsche Geest more densely, because at least there was peace here. So many hundreds of families came to the country and settled the region as colonists - but without any intention of seizing political power.

Forest Meadow, Neu Duvenstedt

At this point the single trail emerges from the forest into a clearing over a distance of 200 m. This brightens up hikers with variety.
