Naturschutzgebiete Schweenssand und Neuländer Moorwiesen Discover natural treasures

© lesniewski

Immerse yourself in unspoiled nature: Schweenssand & Neuländer Moorwiesen offer fascinating insights into untouched ecosystems.

On the southern bank of the Süderelbe, the Schweenssand nature reserve is a real paradise for birds. The changing tides create species-rich areas with remnants of alluvial forest, freshwater mudflats, tidal creeks and reedbeds.

You can explore the nature reserve along the main dyke in Fünfhausen. If that's not enough, extend your walk to a short hike to the neighboring Neuländer Moorwiesen nature reserve. Redshanks, lapwings, snipes, skylarks and meadow pipits flutter up from the lush greenery - because the area is an important habitat for these highly endangered meadow birds.

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.

Nature reserve "Die Reit"

Where Gose Elbe and Dove Elbe meet, lies the delightful landscape of the small nature reserve Die Reit. Past small lakes and ponds, you walk through primeval, swampy beech forest. From the Reit dike, your gaze sweeps over green meadows and waving reed beds.
