Audio stories from The "Ox Trail" (Ochsenweg): Elbmarschen
Freya & Tjark - Episode 19
Tjark and Freya discover the Holmer Sandberge, an impressive inland dune in Schleswig-Holstein. The area, which used to be characterized by open sandy areas, was reforested more than 100 years ago. Today, you can learn more about the flora, fauna and history of the dune landscape on a discovery route. They also talk about the fertile Elbe marshes, which today form the basis for fruit growing in the region. More than half of Schleswig-Holstein's fruit production comes from the Haseldorfer Marsch, where direct marketing plays an important role.
