Tips from the Community

Elbsolar
April 26, 2026, Bismarckstein at Hoper Klev

This remarkable boulder presumably reached the Dithmarscher Geest during the penultimate ice age 200,000 years ago. In the course of the preparations for the Kiel Canal from 1907 to 1914, the stone, with a length of 3.50 meters, a diameter of 2.00 meters, and a weight of 25 tons, came to light.

As children, we used to jump and slide down a narrow sandy path directly from the Bismarck Stone to the Käthnersvierth.

Beautiful old bridge over the railway line between Burg and St. Michel. Popularly known as the '3rd Bridge'.

As a result of the strong melting of glaciers at the end of the last ice age (Weichsel), the sea level rose sharply and the western edge of Schleswig-Holstein's geest formed the coastline. In some places, such as the Barlter Kleve (Kleve = cliff, steep coast) near Gudendorf with a drop of 20 m, at the Kleve of Sankt Michaelisdonn (30 m drop) and between Kuden and Burg, the original cliffs formed by the surf are still visible.

The "Kleve" nature reserve, located southeast of St. Michaelisdonn in the Hopen district of Dithmarschen, has existed as such since November 8, 1962. Parts of the "Hoper or Donner Kleve" were bought by a nature conservation association as early as 1914, and then placed under the protection ordinance under the Reich Nature Conservation Act in 1938. At 11.9 hectares, it is certainly one of the smallest nature reserves in Schleswig-Holstein, but due to its animal and plant populations, it is a real treasure trove.
