Wild Horse Observation Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Koniks as well as the robust cattle are used for targeted care grazing. They keep the areas largely open and thus ensure an active structuring of the species-rich and dynamic coastal landscape.

What a beautiful day through the Geltinger Birk 🥰...

Of course we walked the big lap, i.e. the Wamderweg "Möwe" with around 13.4 km 😊...

Why komoot only saved the small piece is a mystery to me. The highlights were also left out 😳...
Please change later, dear komoot team, if possible - thank you very much 😉...!

Today we went on a circular hike around the Geltinger Birk nature reserve. A great route with perfect "hiking infrastructure". Toilets, enough rest areas and a spacious hiking car park with a well-stocked kiosk 👍. Not to mention the wonderful views and the informative boards along the way. If you're ever in the area: definitely do it!

Day 15: the holiday ends at the lighthouse with a hike through the Geltinger Birk. And as the cherry on the holiday cake, there is a rainbow to celebrate the end 🌈
Already the fourth Birk round this year and by far the windiest. Start with gusts of wind and wind/rain from the side/front, at the end more and more …

Class tour in storm and bad weather. The horses were not to be seen, but the nature experience was still terrific.

Bright sunshine lured us north. We almost forgot the sunglasses. The closer we got to Gelting, dark clouds gathered ... so change your glasses again. Luckily the wind blew in between and cleared the way for the sun from time to time.
The circular routes start at the parking lot. You choose between toad, horse, beef or seagull. We wanted …

The nature reserve at the eastern end of the Flensburg Fjord is a habitat for around 200 species of birds, wild horses and highland cattle. Four beautiful hiking trails lead through it. We chose the "Möwe" hiking trail (13.3 km). This is the longest way and leads once around the Birk.

Instead of starting 2025 with the Geltinger Birk as originally planned, we ended 2024 with the Birk and the Möve circular trail.
The old Nabu hut has "disappeared" since our last round here in September. A new building will be built soon.
It was surprisingly busy, and not just around the parking lots. 🤭 However, today there were only pedestrians. …
