Easy hikes and walks around Talkau

Depending on the angle of the sun, the tree provides nice shade.

Really worth seeing

Somewhat hidden away you can find quaint figures.

The Wotersen Sculpture Workshop: These are Hans Fuhrke, Reinhard M. Sauer, and Hans-Joachim Ruge. Since 2021, they have gained a new collaborator. Sybille Horn has set up her workbench and is creative with wild wood and sculptures made from various materials. For some time now, she has also devoted herself to painting. Back in the fall of 2009, we were offered the opportunity to pursue our passion for sculpture at the Wotersen estate. Mr. and Mrs. Gaedecke could well imagine that the sculpture workshop would be an enrichment for the Wotersen estate. We seized this opportunity and hope that we can also add some visual accents to the estate grounds. Furthermore, we would be delighted if our workshop develops into a place of cultural communication over time. We hope that visitors to the estate will also take the opportunity to stop by and be curious. Let's see how it develops. I wish everyone lots of fun and success! 👋😉 https://www.bildhauerwerkstatt-wotersen.de/

Military training area, it was a military training area - not a military training area. And unfortunately many sections of the old network of paths are now closed. Unfortunately there are only a few routes that you are allowed to walk, the rest have been closed by the agricultural industry for agricultural purposes. The current network of paths on Komoot and on all other map services such as Google Maps does not correspond to the actual paths that are accessible to the public. You plan a hike there - want to walk it and suddenly you are standing in front of a locked cow pasture tractor access gate that says "No entry"

The first this year.

A beautiful piece of lonely nature in the area of the former military training area. Lanken is a 256-hectare nature reserve north of Schwarzenbek, consisting of two sub-areas. The name derives from the Slavic toponym Lanke. It includes a part of the approximately 600-hectare former training area "Lanken", which was used until the end of 1994, with the forests of Lindhorst and Ahrenshorst, as well as part of the upper reaches of the Steinau with its banks. It is characterized by different habitats, including open and semi-open landscapes with pioneer lawns, mineral grass fields, herbaceous borders, small bodies of water and wet grassland with interspersed woody areas and bends, as well as damp and wet forests. Parts of the area within the nature reserve are used for agriculture. Abandoned former agricultural land is being occupied by succession fauna. The Steinau lowlands in the north of the nature reserve are still partially natural. In the nature reserve in the different habitats u. Silver Grass, Lesser Hawkweed, Cowslip, and Marsh Iris. The nature reserve is a habitat for various species of birds and amphibians, grasshoppers and dragonflies, including skylark, partridge, tree frog, green hay horse and blue-green mermaid. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanken_(Schleswig-Holstein)
