A wonderfully and almost perfectly asphalted stretch with really extremely little car traffic (Monday afternoon, maybe two cars on the entire stretch). I can only recommend it!!

The church in Stellau is a simple fieldstone building dating from around 1230. Over the centuries, the building underwent several structural alterations; the chancel was demolished in 1634 and again in 1651. From the 17th to the 19th centuries, the building was reinforced with slanted buttresses at the corners. A wooden bell tower was erected in 1851. The church furnishings include a medieval crucifix and a figure of a bishop, a sandstone baptismal font donated by Heinrich Rantzau in 1593, and a wooden pulpit from 1560, which was repainted around 1640/50. The organ dates from 1844/45. Contact: https://www.kk-rm.de/der-kirchenkreis/einrichtungen/institution/institution/ev-luth-kirchengemeinde-stellau/

🦌 What is Eekholt Wildlife Park? • The park is located in Großenaspe near Bad Bramstedt and was founded in 1970. • Over 700 animals live in natural enclosures on approximately 67 hectares – including wolves, otters, eagle owls, wild cats, deer, birds of prey, and lots of wild boars with cute piglets. • The focus is on native species and environmental education – more like a forest than a safari, but with a truly clear conscience.

Eekholt Wildlife Park is a true natural highlight in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein – charming, educational, and surprisingly lively. You won't find elephants here, but you'll find wolves, wild boars, and plenty of "local stars" who would otherwise be more likely to be seen in the forest than in the spotlight.
