Wooden Bridge Over the Young Alster (Oberalsterniederung)

Only a few 100m long and already quite wide. A truly water-rich corner!

Schlappenmoor

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Very few people here, like I love it!
The bog is no longer natural, as peat was mined here for a long time, but renaturation is in full swing 😊

September 26, 2021,Runde durchs Henstedter Moor zur Alsterquelle

On this tour you have to cross the Alster once on foot. The bridge that once existed there no longer exists. So take off your shoes, roll up your trouser legs and go through the knee-deep water. No problem with summer temperatures ... in winter I would choose a different route.

After we have visited many springs lately, today it was the Alster spring's turn. According to Liliencron, everyone born in Hamburg should be obliged to go to the "holy spring" once in their life. We were very happy to fulfill this obligation today.

With temperatures below zero and winter sun, the frozen plants, grass and trees were beautiful to look at! Around midday, countless ice crystals fell onto the paths as the dew point was reached!
