Hohenfelder Mühlenau

The Hohenfelder Mühlenau is a conservation area in Schleswig-Holstein featuring a stream that runs through diverse habitats. The watercourse displays varying widths and characteristics that support different plant and animal communities.

The area was designated as a protected site by the European Union in 2004 and added to the Natura 2000 network. This recognition marked an important step in safeguarding natural habitats in the region.

The stream flows through several municipalities and creates spaces where residents can observe and understand nature firsthand. Such places connect people to their surroundings and encourage regular visits to the outdoors.

The area is accessible through marked trails and paths that allow visitors to experience the landscape directly. Visitors should follow site guidelines to avoid disturbing wildlife and vegetation.

The area contains two historical mill sites, with the Hohenfelde Mill featuring special installations to support fish movement. These provisions show how technical solutions help connect aquatic creatures between stream sections.
