The Kleinbahn Kirchbarkau–Preetz–Lütjenburg discontinued its passenger service as early as 1931, and the remaining railway operations finally ended in 1938. Today, an information board at the Sieversdorfer Brücke bridge commemorates the eventful history of the former narrow-gauge railway line.

The Kleinbahn Kirchbarkau–Preetz–Lütjenburg (KPL) was founded in 1908 and began operations in 1910. The line was 41 kilometers long and connected a total of 23 stops. Mainly goods such as grain, coal, milk, wood, and fertilizer were transported. The rolling stock included four steam locomotives as well as passenger and freight cars.

This small lake with a rest area and information panel is located in the Barkau region. The area formerly belonged to the monastic estate of Ahrensbök Abbey. In 1735, the village of Barkau was able to buy its freedom from serfdom. "Barkau region" is actually a made-up term coined for the association of eleven neighboring municipalities in the area.

The 79-hectare "Kührener Teich and Surroundings" nature reserve, designated in 1994, lies directly south of the 207-hectare "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" nature reserve, separated by the railway embankment. This protection safeguards two nationally important breeding, resting, and feeding areas for endangered and rare bird species, as well as for the rare fire-bellied toad. The core of the nature reserve is the 40-hectare fish pond, which is on average only half a meter deep and drains into Lake Lanker via a dam on the northern edge. North of the path, which runs along a narrow ridge, a species-rich, wet lowland area extends to the railway embankment. The natural water balance has been restored through damming. Large bodies of water occasionally extend here. The area is part of the European ecological network "Natura 2000" (protected habitat area and bird sanctuary). Pond management

Schleswig-Holstein's Oldest Estate "Wahlstorf Estate is a unique oasis where East and West meet in magical nature." Located in the beautiful Holstein Switzerland region, Wahlstorf Estate is one of the oldest estates in Schleswig-Holstein and a rare, well-preserved example of a 16th-century estate. With its late medieval architectural style, it is of architectural significance. The listed estate now includes the manor house, three historic barns, and a horse stable. This is where explorer, ornithologist, zoologist, film producer, painter, and writer Victor Baron von Plessen (1900-1980) lived. He embarked on numerous expeditions to the Malay Archipelago from 1924 to 1938. Wahlstorf Estate, its inventory, and the East Asian collection of Victor Baron von Plessen are now owned by the Plessen Foundation Wahlstorf. The agricultural holding of approximately 900 hectares is managed by the Gut Wahlstorf Foundation.
