Klövensteen

The Klövensteen is a woodland area west of Hamburg, Germany. The forest covers an area of more than 513 ha (1,270 acres). The Klövensteen is located in the districts of Hamburg in Rissen and Sülldorf and also has parts in Schleswig-Holstein namely in the towns of Pinneberg and Wedel and in the commu

nities of Appen and Holm. Originally the Klövensteen was part of a 100 km (62 mi) long inland dune, which lasted from the last Ice age and extended over an area from the northern Elbe, from the present-day Kiel Canal over the Haseldorf marsh to Geesthacht. The forest was created through afforestation in the 19th century.
