Not really a highlight... While such paved paths are fine in the rain, natural trails are much nicer to walk on.

An elaborate structure spanning the Osterbek... I wonder what kind of game is being hunted here?

A lovely little hut right on the Osterbek stream... Perfect for a break with the relaxing sound of the babbling brook.

A lovely rest area by the roadside... depending on the position of the sun, the tree right next to it provides pleasant shade.

It is always worth hiking in the area of the Schlei, like here at the narrowest point of the Schlei, and enjoying the peace and quiet while hiking and listening to the birds.

The Schlei Nature Park is the northernmost of its kind in Germany. The Schlei region is a true natural paradise and home to numerous animal and plant species. With a unique mix of freshwater, brackish, and saltwater habitats, embedded in a diverse cultural landscape, it offers extraordinary diversity. The cultural landscape of the Schlei has been significantly shaped by the people who live and farm here. Today, the Schlei separates two very different landscapes: Angeln and Schwansen. The hilly landscape of Angeln is particularly characterized by small-scale agriculture and a dense hedgerow structure. The nature park was established in 2008 and covers an area of 500 square kilometers. You can find more information here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/naturpark-schlei-2.
