알트비히스하겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪10‬개의 호수

With good equipment (binoculars and telephoto lens) you can make great observations and take great pictures here.

However, you can only reach the actual Galenbecker See in very few places

The Peene Valley was formed at the end of the last ice age and was located on the northwestern edge of the late glacial Haff reservoir. The areas were permanently flooded as a result of the sea level rise of the Littorina transgression. Peat formation processes began and over the millennia led to a swampy moor, which consists mainly of alder swamp peat and reaches a thickness of three metres. A flow-through moor fed by groundwater grew inland. Sedges formed the main part of the peat here. In the central part of today's protected area, a raised bog fed solely by rainwater was then able to grow. Human use began in the 16th century. Small peat pits were created in the raised bog areas. The rest of the area was used for pasture and meadows. Frederick the Great issued an edict in 1750 to promote the use of peat. Three navigable peat canals were created by 1850. Peat mining continued until 1945 and resulted in the original 500 hectares of raised bog being halved. In 1932, the Anklam town dam was dammed, but had to be permanently drained using two pumping stations. The intervention caused the areas to sink, which is why they are now partly below sea level. Spruce forests and forest paths were then created. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturschutzgebiet_Anklamer_Stadtbruch

The Anklamer Stadtbruch nature reserve is a 1461 hectare nature reserve near Anklam in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.[1] It was declared a protected area on April 27, 1934 with the aim of protecting and developing the Anklam peat bog. There were two extensions in 1937 and 1964. The nature reserve is part of the Peenetal River Landscape Nature Park and is located south of the confluence of the Peene with the Szczecin Lagoon. The surrounding towns are Kamp to the northeast and Bugewitz and Rosenhagen to the west. The condition of the area is considered good. Hydrological conditions are almost natural. The nature reserve is largely impassable; it can only be crossed on two circular trails from the south of Grünberg near Leopoldshagen. At the end of 2018, the NABU National Nature Heritage Foundation acquired 1253.8 hectares of the Anklamer Stadtbruch.[1] The previously intensive hunting in the area was severely restricted and the drainage ditches were immediately filled in to initiate the renaturation of the original rain moor.[2] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturschutzgebiet_Anklamer_Stadtbruch

A beautiful natural landscape on both sides of the road. Best when the sun is low!

A great area for nature observation. We had hundreds of cranes, two sea eagles, red kites, marsh harriers and much more.

waterbird paradise and breeding ground for rare bird species in the midst of a man-made cultural landscape

A fantastic habitat for fauna and flora. Migratory bird flocks, in particular, benefit from the abundance of food during their regular migrations between their breeding grounds and winter quarters. Hopefully, this piece of nature will remain intact.
