Münsterdorfer Geestinsel, Geotope in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

The Münsterdorfer Geestinsel stands 32 meters tall in the Steinburg district, bordered by Stör River, Störmarsch in the north and west, and Kremper Marsch in the south.

The geotope formed through the uplift of a salt dome and overlying chalk formation, making it different from other elevations in Schleswig-Holstein shaped by ice ages.

The Knickenkuhle, a 15-meter deep sinkhole between Münsterdorf and Nordoe, features in regional tales and holds status as a natural monument.

The Nordoe Heath section of the geotope contains inland dunes and offers paths for geological exploration, with special areas designated for nature protection since 2013.

The geological formation includes ongoing surface depressions called sinkholes, with limestone deposits found at depths of 45 meters indicating the region's distinct geological past.
