Börnsen is a municipality in the Duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein .

geography

The community is on the eastern border of Hamburg . In the northwest, Börnsen shares the Lohe recreational area with the neighboring communities of Wentorf and Wohltorf . In the north lies the Sachsenwald , the largest contiguous forest area in Schleswig-Holstein. In the east, Börnsen shares the Dalbek Gorge nature reserve with the neighboring municipality of Escheburg . In the south the community extends into the Elbe glacial valley .

Börnsen is divided by the Geesthang , which was formed during the Ice Ages . The upper Geest area was created as a ground moraine during the Saale Ice Age . The Dalbek Gorge was formed when the ice of the Saale Ice Age retreated and the meltwater was looking for a way to drain off. After the last ice age, the Vistula Ice Age, the melt water from Lauenburg to Wedel formed the steep slope that is still present today and the Elbe glacial valley.

The district of Neubörnsen, which borders on the Lohe recreational area, is located in the north-west of Börnsen.
