The nature experience space in May 2012

The Itzequelle nature experience area ( NER Itzequelle ) is one of two nature experience areas in the Steinburg district , Schleswig-Holstein .

The natural experience area is an area of ​​around four hectares, three quarters of which is owned by the city of Itzehoe and a quarter is owned by the Itzehoe monastery . It was officially recognized by the State of Schleswig-Holstein in 2002 and is the second nature experience area in the Steinburg district after the Rensinger See nature experience area in Kellinghusen, which was recognized in 1997 . It was named after the unofficial name Itze for the mill stream, which flows off in the border area of ​​the nature experience area on the west side of the meadow along the edge of the forest. A pond through which the stream flows was also created in the area. The kingfisher is native there , and the area also offers good living conditions for the green woodpecker .
