We were able to park near the Charlotte mill (Goldhöftberg car park), there are also toilets and the small bistro “Birklein”.
The hike first took us along …

April 5, 2023,Wanderung durch das NSG "Geltinger Birk" (Konik-Weg) 05.04.2023

After I rode my bike to the "Geltinger Birk" nature reserve yesterday and circled it along the waterline, we went for a hike there today.

The short tour on foot on the Konik circular route left very special impressions of one of the most important natural landscapes in Schleswig-Holstein.

In Nieby there is a small parking lot in a small side street (gravel road) off the road 'Niebywesterfeld'. Here you can start the tour well. The tour impresses with its grandiose nature, many water areas, coast, great views and a beautifully restored mill is also included.

Right at the beginning of the round we were greeted with chatter. The area is …
