Red Morning
Sonnenaufgang über einer verträumten Knicklandschaft von Schleswig-Holstein. Die rote Färbung entsteht durch das Licht der aufgehenden Sonne im Nebeldunst.
Sunrise over a dreamy landscape of "Knicks" in Schleswig-Holstein. The red colouring is created by the light of the rising sun in the mist over the landscape.
In Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, the term "Knick" is used to describe wall-like hedges of trees and shrubs, which were created as early as the High and Late Middle Ages as land defences to fortify territories, and later also as "living fences".
A typical bend forms a relatively dense green "wall" of shrubs and isolated trees.
The rampart hedges along the path used to guide the animals during cattle drives and protect the adjacent fields against browsing or trampling by cattle.
