The chalk canal was formerly used to transport mining products to the Itzehoer Stör harbor. I believe that in earlier times, the barges were still towed by horses.

Unfortunately, the originally beautiful path has been paved with coarse gravel. A challenge on foot, a disaster on a bike.

The Gut Springhoe is located in the SW of the municipality of Lockstedt on the former Lübschen Trade (trade route), on the mill pond which is flowed through by the Mühlenbarbeker Au. There used to be a water mill here, which was first mentioned in 1148 & was owned by the Itzehoe Monastery. Next to the mill, a manor farm also developed. Both were initially operated by the Itzehoe Monastery, but were leased out over the centuries: first the farm, then also the mill. Purchasers included various Holstein noble families such as: Ruhmor, Krummendieck, Sehestedt, Pogwisch. In 1899, the farm buildings & the mill burned down. All farm buildings except the mill were rebuilt in 1902. The mill pond was used for carp breeding. Today, the estate is a Trakehner & Lewitzer stud farm. https://www.gestuetspringhoe.de/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_Springhoe A small rest area right by the lake invites you to take a break. And if you're lucky like us, you might see an eagle circling over the mill pond. On the grounds of the manor house, there is a Liliencron monument (German lyricist) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detlev_von_Liliencron

Nice words aren't always true, and true words aren't always nice! A very wise saying, we've all probably experienced it before! 😇

The Nordoe Inland Dunes (or often simply called "Nordoer Heide") are a nature reserve and popular recreation area for Itzehoe and the surrounding area. This area was once a military training area for the nearby former Nordoe barracks, on whose grounds a residential area has now been developed.
