Dalldorf Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The view goes on both sides of the quiet and beautiful canal. If you are lucky, boats are on the way. But even without boats, the channel has something reassuring and invites you to linger.

When the glaciers of the last ice age retreated northwards, the meltwater flows through the Delvenau meltwater channel drained south into the Elbe. A watershed formed on the terminal moraine chains near Mölln, from which the Delvenau continued to flow southwards and the Stecknitz to the north into the Trave. For 500 years, these two watercourses with a connecting canal as the Stecknitz-Delvenau Canal were mainly used for the transport of salt from Lüneburg to the Baltic Sea region. When the Elbe-Lübeck Canal was built around 1900, the entire Stecknitz became part of it.

There is only a small remnant of the Delvenau. Instead, new bodies of water have been created through the gravel extraction. The moon bird or moon spot (Phalera bucephala) is a moth from the tooth spinner family. Its caterpillars feed on the numerous tree species, including to Salix caprea. The Sal willow (Salix caprea) is an important first fodder plant for insects such as honey bees, wild bees and bumblebees due to its early flowering period from the beginning of March.

Despite this deterioration in the water regime, subsidence in the wet meadows and a reduction in biodiversity, this area from Büchen to Lauenburg has been placed under protection, first as an NSG, then the stream itself with 10 m of marginal strips as an FFH area because of its two species of fish that are worthy of protection. the loach and the mud peacock.

The small area “Baggergrube östlich Basedow” is directly bordered by the larger NSG “Stecknitz-Delvenau-Niederung”, which stretches from Büchen-Dorf to the Elbe.

From the paths by the quarry you always have a beautiful view of the vastness of the lowlands.

The "Stecknitz-Delvenau-Niederung" nature reserve, covering 617 hectares, was designated in 2002 by the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Nature and the Environment.

It runs predominantly along the state border with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, along the "Green Belt," the former death strip of the inner-German border between the state border and the "Kolonnenweg" (Kolonnenweg).

The "Green Belt" is part of the "Stecknitz-Delvenau" nature reserve of the same name on the Mecklenburg side, which has been protected since 1990 with an area of 249 hectares.

Further information is available in the flyer from the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Nature and the Environment or from the Hamburg Botanical Society.

The approximately 57-hectare nature reserve was declared a nature reserve in 1991.

The area serves to protect and permanently safeguard a small-scale habitat of a particularly protected, regionally typical flora and fauna in a former soil extraction site with several well-structured bedwaters, valuable secondary habitats as habitats for semi-ruderal pioneer and wild herbaceous vegetation, access shrubs, bare soil areas, and steep cliffs.

To permanently protect the core zone, the adjacent areas are incorporated into the nature reserve as a buffer and development zone.

This includes agricultural land, forest areas, and a remnant of heath forest in the north of the area.

Lanzer See Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

The "Lanzer See" campsite is located north of Lauenburg near Basedow and, in addition to Lake Lanzer See, also has access to the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The "basic pitches" have views of the water 💦 and passing boats 🚤, offering direct access for walks or simply enjoying the evening sunset. 🌅
The restrooms are extremely clean and the staff is very friendly.
The campsite is a manageable size, but the central part is populated by too many permanent campers who—if you're lucky—are not there. ☺️
