Heimfelder Holz nature reserve Nature for young and old

© Udo Kruse Stock Adobe 430352991

Fresh leaves sprout on the trees and bushes in spring, in autumn the leaves change to colorful shades of yellow and red - the species-rich Heimfelder Holz deciduous forest is a great place for walks and short hikes at any time of year.

With its old trees, old wood on the ground, piles of branches and bushes close to the ground, Heimfelder Holz is a habitat for numerous beetles, birds and rare bat species. A total of 440 species of beetle can be found in the wood. The nature reserve is directly adjacent to Meyer's Park with its playground, pony farm and dog exercise area.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Hamburg South

Around Harburg's inland harbour, historical and modern architectural styles merge. It's maybe even a bit like HafenCity. Finkenwerder, on the other hand, has the charm of a fishing village. – Here, you see a quite different, almost rural side of Hamburg. Harburg and Finkenwerder are also good starting points for discovering the Hamburg metropolitan area.
