쉬운 알트워프 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

One might ask how dunes are formed so far inland... The answer would be: during the last ice age, during centuries of thawing, these fine sands were transported into the lagoon by meltwater rivers and then piled up by the wind.

A chapter in itself: the use of Altwarp for the Wehrmacht and the prisoner of war camp in the forest; where the Soviet war cemetery now lies.

Inland dunes Size: 1460 ha Nature reserve since 1990 The nature reserve is registered as an FFH (flora, fauna, habitat) area and is part of the European bird sanctuary "Riether Werder, Gottesheide, Ahlbecker Seegrund". After the ice melted at the end of the Weichselian glaciation around 10,000 years ago, an inland dune massif was formed in the area of the former Haff reservoir immediately south of Altwarp, which is made up of irregularly arranged dune ridges. Inland dunes of this kind can only be found again in southwest Mecklenburg, particularly in the town of Klein-Schmölen near Dömitz.

For me it's a must every time in Altwarp - a look at Nowe Warpno.

Information about the nature park trail

The Altwarper Binnendünen, Neuwarper See and Riether Werder nature reserve is characterized by the last ice age and the centuries-long thawing period that followed. From the dunes you have beautiful views all the way to Nowe Warpno on the Polish side. Numerous juniper trees and bushes grow here. A pristine valley with a special flair.

The so-called nature park trail runs for around 900 kilometers across the interior of the country between Schaalsee and the Szczecin Lagoon. All seven nature parks in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania can be discovered along the way.

Paid parking space for mobile homes at the port of Altwarp.
