The Hevenbruch has been a nature reserve in Schleswig-Holstein since April 2003. It covers 173 hectares, is almost entirely forested (97%), and is embedded in the "Stormarn Terminal Moraine Area" of the East Holstein hill country. The purpose of the reserve is to permanently preserve the natural environment in this area in its entirety. In particular, the undisturbed natural development of geological and biological processes in the forests is to be allowed to continue, also for documentation purposes in natural sciences and forestry. No forestry interventions whatsoever take place on the entire forest area of the Hevenbruch! The communities of organisms in the no-harvest zone are intended to foster a comprehensive understanding of natural forest development. https://www.naturplus-ev.de/naturraeume/hevenbruch/

In the nature reserve, many paths are blocked by trees at the moment, so you mainly have to walk on the main paths. All in all, that's no problem. The animals have their peace and you can still go for a nice walk.

There has been a tree on the path for weeks that is difficult to avoid

The approximately 173 hectare nature reserve is registered under number 188 in the directory of nature reserves of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas. It was designated as of April 25, 2003 (Date of Regulation: April 1, 2003). The nature reserve is largely part of the FFH area "Forests of Hevenbruch and Koberger Forest" and the EU bird sanctuary "Forest areas in Lauenburg". The district Duchy of Lauenburg is responsible for the lower nature conservation authority. The nature reserve is located in a moraine landscape northwest of Mölln between the towns of Ritzerau, Nusse and Koberg. It protects an old beech forest that belongs to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, which has not used it for forestry since 1994. Due to the abandonment of use, old and dead wood can develop, which form an important basis for numerous animals, plants and fungi.

After a long restoration, the path to Linau Castle has been clear for a long time, and so is the path to the Billequelle, because the only way to the spring leads past the castle. The way to the Billequelle looks blocked, but it is not. You can push past the castle over the small bridge, then continue to the right along the moat and continue on the road to the Billequelle.

The Slavic rampart of Sirksfelde, a municipality in the Duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein, is a good one kilometer south of the town on the L 200 in the forest. The approximately 100 meter high castle wall dates from the 8th and 9th centuries and was located in the territory of the Obodrites. As archaeological studies have shown, the Niederungsburg was not in use for long. It may have lost its importance due to the course of the Limes Saxoniae around 810. The castle had only one gate that led to the north. Today the ground monument is also known as Wallberg or Sirksfelder Schanze. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirksfelder_Schanze
