Attractions

The gravel pit of the Kieswerke Ohle & Lau GmbH is known as the place where fossils and bed load were found . Just a few years after it was put into operation, it was a popular site for bed load collectors and also has a significant variety of residues from marine animals from the Miocene . Between 1984 and 1993 three skeletons of ten million year old whales from the Upper Middle Miocene were found and excavated here. These are now in the Museum for Nature and Environment in Lübeck and are open to the public. The baleen whale , discovered in 1989, was named Praemegaptera pampauensis (pampau whale) according to its location . In 2016, amateur paleontologists found an 11 million year old seal skeleton . According to their findings, the animals lived in the original North Sea .

Since 2007, the previously abundant sites are no longer fully accessible. In addition, a visit to the mine is only possible with a special permit.
