Hevenbruch Nature Reserve

The approximately 173 hectare nature reserve is registered under number 188 in the directory of nature reserves of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas. It was designated as of April 25, 2003 (Date of Regulation: April 1, 2003). The nature reserve is largely part of the FFH area "Forests of Hevenbruch and Koberger Forest" and the EU bird sanctuary "Forest areas in Lauenburg". The district Duchy of Lauenburg is responsible for the lower nature conservation authority.
The nature reserve is located in a moraine landscape northwest of Mölln between the towns of Ritzerau, Nusse and Koberg. It protects an old beech forest that belongs to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, which has not used it for forestry since 1994. Due to the abandonment of use, old and dead wood can develop, which form an important basis for numerous animals, plants and fungi.

A varied and beautiful piece of forest, with various signs about animals and plants.

A very beautiful, dense forest of leaves, unfortunately with 1 billion mosquitoes today! That was hard!
