The Elbe foreland is characterized by changing riverbanks, herbaceous meadows, and willow thickets. Near-natural softwood floodplains of purple willow and black poplar grow here. Many rare species, such as the river lamprey and the beaver, find their habitat here; in northern Germany, these species often occur exclusively in the Elbe glacial valley. In addition to these natural treasures, the biosphere reserve also features a medieval rampart on the Old Salt Road, south of Schnakenbek. It once protected the Elbe crossing on the important trade route between Lübeck and Lüneburg. Today, you can still see the remains of the circular rampart. You can find out more about the biosphere reserve here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/flusslandschaft-elbe-schleswig-holstein

Erdmannshof in Krukow is a real insider tip for everyone who values fresh and regional products. Here you can get everything your heart desires: from juicy chicken meat to tender turkey meat, to delicious duck and goose meat. Milk from happy cows and fresh hen eggs are also on offer. Those who like potatoes will also find something here. The homemade fruit juices and the exquisite wines, both white and red, are also particularly delicious. And the freshly baked bread is simply a delight. Stop by and convince yourself of the quality of the products. https://www.mein-bauernhof.de/verkaufstelle/erdmannshof-821237/

Nice rest area on the outskirts of Kruckow under a shady, large tree with a bench and a rustic natural stone table.

February 23, 2025, Gülzow Cemetery

This old cemetery in Gülzow has been around since 1912. It is located a little outside of the city and is therefore very quiet. Here you can be alone with your thoughts and find peace. In front of the entrance by the cemetery wall there is a bench where you can take a rest.
