ノイエンドルフ-サッセンバンドの天然記念物・トップ20

The Nordoe Inland Dunes are now a 407-hectare nature reserve and part of the National Natural Heritage. The area is characterized by a mix of diverse habitats: open sandy areas, heathlands, and wetlands. There are both pine-covered inland dunes and scrub-like oak woodlands. The Nordoe Inland Dunes are an important refuge for rare and endangered animal and plant species. The ecosystem depends on the nutrient-poor conditions and open landscape. To maintain these conditions, the area is now managed through extensive grazing with Galloways, Highland cattle, and Exmoor ponies.

The outer dike of St. Margarethen is located near the Elbe and is now an important bird sanctuary. Originally, this area was part of a dike system that protected the hinterland from flooding. Over time, the harbor creek became increasingly silted up and port operations were discontinued. Today, the outer dike provides an important habitat for numerous bird species and is a popular destination for nature observation and cycling tours. The outer dike and the surrounding area are ideal for hikes and bike rides along the Elbe, with wonderful views of the passing ships. Historically, the area was also the site of a pilot station, but this was not rebuilt after a fire in 1902.

The lowest point in Germany * 3.54 m below sea level (NHN)

The information board contains some interesting facts about the lowest point on land.

You can immortalize yourself in the guest book of Germany's lowest point at 3.54 meters below zero. The place itself is unspectacular, but clean.

Who can claim that they were once below sea level? Great highlight!

A bathing lake with several bays and small beaches. Benches invite you to a picnic. Rubbish bin and emergency telephone available. Dogs are not allowed in the lake.

The inland dunes of Nordoe are quite a sight to behold. Despite the poor soil, many insects find a home here. A plaque not far from the dunes tells you more about it.
