Small bodies of water are valuable habitats that often house rare aquatic and marsh plants as well as numerous animal species – including dragonflies and amphibians, which spend their larval stages here. On the Geest, many of these bodies of water are artificial, such as marl pits or livestock watering holes. Due to landscape change and intensive agriculture, many have disappeared, particularly affecting amphibians. A newly created pond with shallow banks, a sunny location, and nearby woodland now provides favorable conditions for their reproduction.

The shaping power of glacial meltwater from the area of present-day Lake Plön shaped the landscape between Rickling and Daldorf. The water flowing westward deposited sand and carved out the "Trappenkamp Sander." This allows heather to grow here. Tip: The heather blooms from August 8th to September 9th.

This trail leads through the structurally rich wetland of the Kiebitzholmer Moor, formed by glacial meltwater that once deposited sand and gravel between Rickling and Daldorf. The watershed between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea now runs here: the Brandsau River flows to the Baltic Sea, and the Rothenmühlenau River flows via the Stör River to the North Sea. Those who experience nature with open eyes can discover small wonders: • 🐸 Moor frogs, whose males shimmer bright blue for a few days in spring • 🐭 Harvest mice, which build elaborate nests among reeds and grasses • 🪲 Red-necked silphiums, carrion beetles with reddish-brown pronotums – indicators of near-natural habitats.

Trentmoor is a protected moorland in Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the Natura 2000 network, which preserves valuable habitats for rare plant and animal species. It is characterized by nutrient-poor raised bogs, wet heaths, and former peat bogs, some of which have been restored. To keep the landscape open, some areas are grazed by Galloway cattle, while large parts of the moor are off-limits for nature conservation reasons.

The moor has the name: Kiebitzholmer Moor! (Not "Kiebitzholzer" bog) Nice and quiet there - a herd of Galloways is running around freely - similar to the Stellmoorer Tunneltal near Hamburg. Great atmosphere - worth checking out!
