geography

Schalkholz is located in the Norderdithmarscher Geest . There is a remarkable lateral moraine landscape in the municipal boundaries . While the Saale Ice Age was already in retreat, it made another advance for some time, which ended in Schalkholz. The depression of the ice tongue and the surrounding marginal moraines can still be seen clearly in the landscape. In the Eem warm period there was either a large freshwater lake or an inlet at the site.

From the forest, which originally gave the place its name, there is still a small, but tall oak bush forest. Originally the area was rich in burial mounds from the Stone and Bronze Ages , of which only flattened remains can be found today.
