In the middle of the nature reserve, on the Alster in the north of Hamburg, is the Mellingburg lock. A gem in unspoilt nature.

The small kiosk with the tables and chairs offers nice food and drinks and was also open in winter.

On the northern edge of Hohenbuchenpark is the Mellingburg lock from the 16th century, named after the early medieval Mellingburg.
This was once located in the nearby Alster loop, but can now only be seen through high earth walls. In 1717, the "Lock Master's House" was built at the lock, in which the boatmen could be entertained. Even today, as the hotel-restaurant "Mellingburger Schleuse", it follows this tradition in a certain way by providing exhausted excursionists with food and drinks after their canoe tour provided.

The special feature of a semi-arid lawn is its lack of nutrients.
It allows for a very high diversity of species.
Economic use and over-fertilization through livestock farming has almost completely destroyed the semi-dry grassland of the Alsterschleife as a habitat over the years.
In the early days of our nature conservation work, it was initially about removing the rubbish and clutter from the previous owners in order to then redesign the specific semi-arid grassland habitat.
Later, copses, hedges and hedgerows could be planted with native trees and shrubs.
Numerous ponds were created in the flooding area of the Alster, but we also created small ponds on the plateau.
In the sandy southern part, various sand pits have been created for warmth-loving insects, as well as heaps of old wood and rocks for lizards.
A large meadow orchard with old fruit tree varieties was created.
Nesting aids created for wild bees, bats and native breeding birds.
Through regular sowing, many native perennials were able to settle on the initially extremely species-poor grassy area.
