This marshy area was placed under protection as one of the last official acts of the outgoing GDR government. Diverse waters dotted with dead trees enchant in many ways. At any moment, it is expected that the earth will tremble and T-Rex will come around the corner.

We have only hiked a small part so far, but it will not be the last time.

The Plagefenn is a moorland. It extends from Brodowin to Liepe. In addition to the large and small plage lake, it includes a large number of wetlands, which offer an ideal habitat for many waterfowl.
According to Wikipedia, the name of the area comes from: “The name of the area certainly goes back to a settlement mentioned in 1258 called Plawe. The exact location of this settlement is no longer known today. "Plawe" was also called Plaue or Plage. “Plaw” means marshy terrain or bog in Old Polabian. Another mention in 1459 as "Plauel deserta" mentions the destruction or abandonment of the settlement. "
The area actually became NSG with the last GDR Ministerial Council decision in 1990.
Since the two lakes have no inflows and outflows, the area threatens to be silted up by persistent drought. To prevent this from happening, beavers were settled, which are now used to promote water retention through their dams and thus to protect the area from drying out. The beavers alone will not be able to do this, because the lack of precipitation causes the ditches that connect the moor to the lakes to dry up.

Of me here only a portion of the entire Plagefenn is marked. He is certainly not representative of the entire nature reserve.
Photos have also been added from other parts of the area.
