Pilot station Rüsterbergen on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

From Kiel to Brunsbüttel on the "southern" canal bank and then back from Brunsbüttel to Kiel on the "northern" shore! The southern tour takes a little longer, as it runs with interruption on the canal.

Schülp Junction on the Kiel Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Schülp was an Eider crossing on the Heerweg or Ochsenweg and was considered a border town between Schleswig and Holstein.

With the construction of the Eider Canal, the Eider was straightened near Schülp and with the construction of the Kiel Canal, the border town on the Eider lost its importance. The canal became a workplace for many students and gained in importance. It divides the community into two parts and you have to accept a major detour via the tunnel in Rendsburg or via the Breiholz ferry to get to the other part of the town.
The village lies on a sand hill from the last Ice Age. A sand dune more than 10 m high, the Rüsterberg, is located in the southwest on the canal. From this elevation you can have a very nice view of the Eider lowlands and the Kiel Canal. Through the canal and the adjacent forest and meadow areas with the quiet farm roads, the place offers those looking for relaxation, nature lovers, whether hikers, cyclists or horseback riders, many opportunities to recover from everyday stress far away from the traffic centers.
The canal with the large ships, whether freighters, tankers or passenger ships, always offers the guests at the pilot station and the points beautiful experiences and variety. Whether you are a walker, hiker or cyclist, anyone who wants to rest or rest at the pilot station on the Kiel Canal in Schülp can do so in the "Lachmann-Hütte", a shelter made of robust wood with a table and benches.

St. Birgitta's Church, Jevenstedt

Highlight • Religious Site

The parish church in Jevenstedt was first documented in 1164.

The interior of St. George's Church in Jevenstedt features a Baroque pulpit altar from the 18th century and a Romanesque baptismal font. The simple furnishings are complemented by a few sacred works of art, including statues of saints and simple stained glass windows.

It currently hosts a "Tritt-ein!" (Come in!) event every Saturday.
