Forest path on the Hasenburger Mühlenbach

Highlight • Trail

The way is not only beautiful, it also has a certain historical value. He was part of the old Landwehr (1397-1406). The Hasenburg is the last preserved watchtower of the Landwehr. These land forces did not serve the military defense, but should prevent merchants from bypassing the city of Lüneburg. Lüneburg at the time had the right to stack and the traveling merchants were obliged to offer their goods in Lüneburg for three days. Of course that cost fees and not every dealer wanted to pay them.

Lösegraben Weir, Lüneburg

Highlight • Structure

The drainage ditch is of enormous importance to Lüneburg, and the weir regulates the water level. During floods, the drainage ditch protects the city center from inundation. The drainage ditch has existed in its current form since 1874, based on the plans of the city architect, Maske.

The weir can also be used to drain the Ilmenau River in Lüneburg to maintain the waterways of the Ratsmühle, Abtsmühle, and Lüner Mühle mills. It's also used to remove trash.

An article in the Hamburger Abendblatt describes this quite well:

abendblatt.de/region/lueneburg/article107936738/Lueneburg-seit-1874-nicht-ueberflutet.html

During my research, I also discovered that the weir needs to be renovated:

Loreley Rock on the Ilmenau

Highlight • Monument

The entire Ilmenau is due to their great importance for the flora and fauna designated as FFH area and over large parts as a nature reserve. Among the Elbe tributaries it is considered the most important representative of the river type "Heidebach". As a gravel-flowing stream of the lowlands, there are many structures in the Ilmenau that provide a habitat for many animals and plants. These include lush fish fauna with endangered species such as grayling, minnow, bitterling and bullhead, as well as salmon and sea trout migratory fish. In addition, 68 single-day, stone and caddis flies were detected, of which 25 alone are on the "Red List". Other protected species are the Green Maiden, the Otter and the Brook or Small River Mussel.

Ilmenau Flood Meadows near Wilschenbruch

Highlight • River

Together with the Lösegraben, the flood meadows in the Wilschenbruch absorb excess water and thus protect Lüneburg from flooding.
