Nahe combines a protected landscape with a church on the Way of St. James. Nearby, Itzstedter See and Nienwohlder Moor add further natural attractions. During your stay, you can choose between landscapes, the pilgrimage route, swimming and trails in the protected area.

Protected Landscape along the Alster and Rönne

The protected Alster river system extends along the western and southern edges of Nahe. Via the Rönne, it reaches Itzstedter See; the Oberalsterniederung section continues west toward the source of the Alster. These are two distinct landscape connections: the link to the lake via the Rönne, and the lowland area that continues toward the source. For nature lovers, the waterway and the lowland offer two different ways to explore the landscape around Nahe.

Church and Way of St. James

The church in Nahe is known for its mosaic windows and stands on a pilgrimage route of the Way of St. James. Two features are key to understanding its significance: the design of the windows and its location on the pilgrimage route. The church is therefore both a cultural landmark and part of the Way of St. James.

Itzstedter See and Nienwohlder Moor

Itzstedter See covers 14 hectares and borders Nahe and Oering. Its bathing facilities are on the eastern shore in Itzstedt. If a swim stop is important to your travel plans, check the current status of the facilities before your visit.

Nienwohlder Moor, a nature reserve covering around 400 hectares, is located near Nahe. It protects rare plants, insects and animal species; trails allow you to walk around almost the entire area. A visit to the moor therefore differs from swimming at the lake: the focus is on the protected area and its trails.
