Due to large agricultural operations and biogas plants in the vicinity, heavy oncoming traffic with very large and fast machines can be expected all day long, especially during the harvest season, and at times there will be dirty roads and confusing road junctions and field exits!

Originally, the salt pond of the saline was used to store wood, for the wooden rods that were used to conduct the energy generated by water and wind to the pumping stations. After Oldesloe became a spa, in 1824 the saline pond, which was fed by natural salt springs, cleaned, enlarged and integrated into the infrastructure of the spa park. Today it is used as a fishing pond.
