The Leipzig alluvial forest (colloquially also alluvial forest or alluvial forest) is an alluvial forest area that is predominantly in the area of the city of Leipzig. It used to be a softwood floodplain (alder) and was regularly flooded by the floods of the Pleiße, Weisse Elster and Luppe. Due to human influence (especially regulation of flowing waters) a hardwood floodplain (ash, oak, maple) has prevailed today. The Leipzig alluvial forest is one of the largest preserved alluvial forests in Central Europe. Regardless of the diverse human interventions and the proximity to a large city, parts of the Leipzig alluvial forest have retained an extremely natural character.

The alluvial forest is perfect to take a short break from city life. Just stop and enjoy the music of the forest 🌳

Even when the weather is bright, you can find paths that are not so crowded.
