Höltigbaum

Höltigbaum is a typical section of a ground moraine of the last ice-age. The area features a variety of different landscapes such as heath, dry grassland and forest areas. In the last century the area was used for military purposes and in 1996 it was declared a nature conservation area. Today Highland and Galloway cattle, and sheep graze where tanks used to roll. Come and explore the area on our purpose-built hiking trails. The border between the Federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg runs straight through the nature conservation area. On the Hamburg side, you can visit the interactive museum of natural science “Haus der Wilden Weiden”.
