The peat factory is no longer a real highlight, but the path past it is worthwhile

Small, lovingly designed shelter. Particularly striking is the hand-painted saying on the gable: "Sett di dol, verpust di mol" - Low German for roughly: Sit down and take a break. A nice little resting place with its own character.

The sheep graze on the dikes in the Altes Land region to help with dike stabilization and maintenance. As they graze, they act as natural lawnmowers, and their hooves compact the soil, strengthening the turf and protecting the dike from erosion. Furthermore, the sheep's hooves fill in mouse holes and mole tunnels, which could otherwise lead to dike undermining during floods. The sheep keep the grass short, promoting deeper and stronger root development. This robust root system protects the dike from the force of the water. Soil compaction: the sheep's hooves firm the soil, stabilizing the dike. The compacted turf prevents erosion, and the sheep actively fill in mouse and mole holes. The sheep provide natural landscape maintenance, serving as a cost-effective alternative to mechanical maintenance and ensuring a uniform, dense turf.

A fantastic hiking and cycling path runs along here, amidst beautiful nature. On one side, sheep graze on the dike, and on the opposite side, the Elbe River flows through apple orchards. Highly recommended.

I occasionally drive through this area. In this case, on my tour: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2450927699 The photos I've attached show the sheep. At that time, bluetongue disease was rampant. And a covered rest area. It was new at the time.

I passed by there on my "Lindenallee" tour on July 31, 1925. I occasionally drive past the old cattle scales. It's about time I stopped there.
