Unsere Alleen in Schleswig-Holstein

Like the green network of hedgerows, Schleswig-Holstein's magnificent avenues are an essential part of the landscape between the seas. The oldest ones have already lived for a good 200 years - lime trees, chestnut trees and oaks dominate. They can be found all over the state. "Every avenue is unique," says Holger Gerth, the state commissioner for nature conservation and author of the book together with Dagmar Andresen, project manager of the Schleswig-Holstein Heritage Association. Both are committed to the preservation and replanting of avenues. The book by Gerth and Andresen documents the beauty of the avenues. And at the same time explains the biological purpose of the rows of trees in the north. Their deeper meaning lies in biotope networking and the safeguarding of biodiversity. What more could you want than both magnificent landscaping and biological benefits coming together? Andresen and Gerth's book guides you through the avenues in Schleswig-Holstein in text and pictures.
