Det tidligere Rødby Fjord er et af de laveste steder i Danmark.
Stedet har en ret speciel historie.
The former Rødby Fjord is one og the lowest (in altitude) places in
Denmark with quite an interesting history.
Rødby Fjord, Tjørnebjærg
Når man står her i dag, er det vanskeligt at forestille sig, at der
engang var havbund her. Naturen her i dag er et resultat af en stor
menneskelig indsats og er derfor menneskeskabt. Tidligere kunne man
sejle helt ind til Rødby. I fjorden lå der en del mindre øer. Kører
man af Bredfjedvej passerer man godset Lidsø. Hovedbygningen og
avlsgården ligger på Lidsø. Man kan tydelig fornemme den tidligere
ø’s omridt, da den hæver sig fra omgivelserne. Mod syd
afgrænsedes fjorden af flere sandbanker, fjed og øer. Myggefjed,
Bredfjed, Tjørnebjerg, Kramnitze og Hummingen er eksempler på
afgrænsningen af fjorden mod syd. Danmarkshistoriens værste
stormflod i november 1872 oversvømmede meget store områder på
sydlolland, således at Rødby Fjord og Nakskov Fjord næsten var
forbundet. Det blev efterfølgende besluttet at lave et stort
kystsikringsprojekt i form af et dige. Diget blev opført fra 1874
til 1877 ved hårdt manuelt arbejde. Det 63 km. lange dige blev
lavet af 600 arbejdsmænd, som flyttede 1,73 millioner kubikmeter
jord med skovl og trillebør. Da diget var anlagt, blev der gravet
kanaler og anlagt en pumpestation ved Kramnitze. I dag pumper
stationen 20 m3 vand pr. sek. Omkring 1935 var fjorden helt tørlagt
og med tiden blev det muligt at dyrke de lette sandjorder.
Afgrøderne er typisk sukkerroer, korn, kartofler, frøgræs og
grøntsager. I 1999 blev et naturgenopretningsprojekt godkendt.
Lidsø gods fik tilladelse til at etablere et 130 hektar område
langs kysten med græsningsområder og små og større lavvandede søer.
Vandstanden styres ved lave diger og sti-border således at
vandstanden stiger og falder med nedbørsmængden og varmen. Der er
ligeledes plantet ca. 100 hektar skov i området. Stedet er blevet
et eldorado for især vadefugle. Området er ikke fredet og der
drives nænsom jagt her. Der er offentlig adgang via låger i
elhegnet. Man kan sige at lidt af Rødby Fjord er vendt tilbage.
Cachen er en nano og indeholder kun log. Genplacer venligst cachen præcist som du fandt den. FTF bevis sendes på opfordring. Skriv til mig via min profil.

When you stand here today, it is difficult to imagine that there
was once seabed here. Nature here today is a result of a great
human effort and therefore are manmade. Previously, you could sail
right up to Rødby. In the bay there was some smaller islands. If
you drive by Bredfjedvej you pass the estate Lidsø. The main
building and breeding farm are located on Lidsø. One can clearly
sense the former island's outline, as it rises from the
surroundings. To the south the fjord was separated from the see by
several sand banks and islands. Myggefjed, Bredfjed, Tjørnebjerg,
Kramnitze and Hummingen are examples of the delineation of the
fjord to the south. The worst flood seen in Denmark was in November
1872 and flooded large areas of southern Lolland, so that Rodby
Fjord and Nakskov Fjord was nearly related. It was subsequently
decided to make a major coastal protection project in the form of a
dike. The dike was built from 1874 to 1877 by hard manual work. The
dike is 63 km. long and was made of 600 working men who moved 1.73
million cubic meters of soil with shovel and wheelbarrows. When the
dike was built, canals were dug and the pumping station Kramnitze
was made. Today the station pumps 20 m3 of water per. sec. Around
1935 the bay completely dried out and eventually it became possible
to cultivate the light sandy soils. Crops are typically sugar cane,
corn, potatoes, grass seed and vegetables. In 1999 a nature
restoration project was approved. Lidsø goods were allowed to
establish a 130 hectare area of coastal grazing areas with small
and larger shallow lakes. Water levels are controlled by low dikes
and path-border so that the water level rises and falls with
rainfall and warm. There are also planted around 100 hectares of
forest in the area. The place is a paradise, especially for waders.
The area is not preserved and gentle hunting takes place here.
There is public access through the gates into the electric fence.
You could say that some of Rodby Fjord is returned.
The cache is a nano and only contains the log. Please place the cache exactly as you found it. FTF certificate is send on request write to me via my profile.
