The "Alte Landsknecht" - once an inn - is a historic half-timbered house from 1541 with an artistically carved facade. In 1951 it was rebuilt while retaining the original facade and later converted into a residential building. Today it is a listed building on Schleifmühlenstraße and a well-known landmark in the city.

This tour went south of the Kiel Canal, mostly through forest and fields - but near Brammer I got really confused by the very rough terrain (sometimes I had to push) in the fenced-in area of a large stud farm (despite the satnav or because of it) - I walked along the fence several times and couldn't get out properly. I also failed at the closed gate and ended up going back the same way (which I really don't like doing). But it was fun - because for me the journey is always the destination....

The Kiel Canal is ideal for cycling and hiking. The nature is very beautiful and every now and then you see a ship.

The Eider rises from two spring ponds: the lake at the forester's lodge Mannhange and the hedge pond near Overdorfer Redder. However, here in Rendsburg it essentially springs again, as no water enters the river from the Kiel Canal. Through the town of Rendsburg it follows the course of the Kiel Canal almost parallel, but then turns north towards Oldenbüttel. You can admire the Eider on both sides of the river channel, although the north side is more suitable for cyclists.
