Eider-Treene lowland
The Eider-Treene-Niederung is a landscape in western Schleswig-Holstein . Along the rivers Eider , Treene and Sorge , it extends over around 500 square kilometers of wet grassland. Of this type, it results in the largest contiguous area in Schleswig-Holstein and houses around a third of the state's moorland . They attract a large number of meadow birds.
geography
In the north its border lies in the area between Hollingstedt and Treia . In the east, the lowland area extends to just before Rendsburg , and in the south-east to the moorlands on the Hanerau and Haaler Au . As such, the lowland area is now cut up by the course of the Kiel Canal . The western border to the Eiderstedter Marsch is controversial, as the marshland , moors and Geest are closely intertwined.
All cold and warm periods since the Saale complex have shaped the genesis of the landscape . Today's shape is largely shaped by hydraulic engineering measures, such as dams in the lower reaches of the Eider, including the construction of locks. The construction of the Eider Barrage can be seen as the last major structural measure for controlled drainage to date . Until the 1920s, the Eider was a tidal river up to Rendsburg .
The region's attempt to benefit more from nature tourism is of a strategic nature and is largely supported by the active region of the same name .
