The Höllenau and the Olendieksau rivers originate in the Schönbek Moor; the latter flows into the Brahmsee lake. This places the moor on the watershed between the Stör river system and the Wehrau river system, the latter of which now flows into the Kiel Canal and formerly flowed into the Eider river 😉...

The violet chanterelle looks like it came from an enchanted forest: its surreal midnight blue color and velvety soft. It's also quite rare. While it's edible, it tastes more like forest floor. Better to look at it than cook it!

This letter is lying on a bench at the Moorweg intersection. The wishes are very valuable—but the question of trust moves me more deeply.

The Schönbek Moor (also known as the Great Moor) forms the border between Loop (Holstein) and Schönbek. The raised bog was previously used, as was common practice, for peat mining. The area was not a municipality until 1888 and was incorporated into Dätgen, Loop and Schönbek in the same year. The Höllenau and the Olendieksau rivers, which flow into the Brahmsee, have their source in the Schönbek Moor. The moor thus lies on the watershed between the Stör and Wehrau river systems, which now flow into the Kiel Canal and used to flow into the Eider. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6nbeker_Moor

The crane (Grus grus), also known as the grey crane or Eurasian crane, is a member of the crane family (Gruidae). In Europe it is largely the only crane species; the demoiselle crane's range only begins in the Black Sea region. Cranes live in swamps and moorlands in large parts of northern and eastern Europe, but also in some areas of northern Asia. They eat both animal and plant food all year round. The population has increased significantly in recent decades, so the species is not endangered.

The decorative trolley is parked on a trolley track in the forest near a stack of track sections. Botany is increasingly taking over the peat wagon. The mapped path is continuous—contrary to the drawing—so it doesn't end in a blind alley.
