    As part of the North German Plain, the Ueckermünde Heath region is predominantly characterized by poor sandy soils, while lowland moors can be found in the Uecker, Randow, and Zarow river basins, as well as on the lagoon coast.

    This paradise of charming nature, with small lakes, magnificent beech and mixed forests, and its wildlife, is a protected landscape area due to its diversity and beauty.

    The nature park region was shaped by the Pomeranian stage of the Weichselian glaciation approximately 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. The resulting surface structures are predominantly ground moraines with low relief, characterized by ice margins, outwash plains, valleys, and basins.

    During the Late Glacial Period, meltwater accumulated as a result of the ice massif melting only slowly in the north, forming the enormous lagoon reservoir. Wind-blown sand blankets and inland dunes were deposited. This combination characterizes the sandy area of the Ueckermünde Heath today.

      The "Am Stettiner Haff" nature park is located in northeastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, directly on the border with Poland. Here you will find the vast, contiguous forests of the Ueckermünde Heath, the natural and undeveloped sections of the lagoon coast, lagoon meadows, the lowlands of the Uecker and Randow, and the Brohmer Hills. The landscape is characterized by small lakes, magnificent beech and mixed forests, and a wide variety of animals.

      The current landscape was formed approximately 12,000 to 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age. At that time, glaciers and meltwater formed the flat ground moraines, valleys, basins, and striking terminal moraines such as the Rosenthaler Randlage and the Brohmer Hills. Wind-blown sand blankets and inland dunes were deposited, which today make up the sandy area of the Ueckermünde Heath.

      You can discover a diverse landscape in the nature park: from wet moors and meadows to dry grasslands, extensive forests, and inland dunes. This diversity ensures that you'll find a particularly rich flora and fauna here—from rare birds to otters and many unique plant species.
