View over flooded polder areas at the Peenestrom. On a narrow spit of land you can walk several hundred meters into the former polder areas and has reeds on the right and left and interesting views over the water surfaces. At the end of the headland stands a bench.
Polder rebuilding in the Peene valley (text on the information board): "In diked green areas with a pumping station (polders), the water sinking could be operated well below the level of the river level.As a result of the peat decomposition processes, shallow trays were created, which filled with water after the pumping station had been shut down.
These shallow waters are silting up again, but in the meantime they represent a new habitat for plants and animals. In particular, the water bird world benefited from these measures. There were e.g. large breeding colonies of black-headed gull, black and common tern, greylag goose, duck birds and divers. Whitebird and White-winged Tern and Pygmy Peafowl have resettled. Occasionally, exotic species such as stilt walkers and spoonbills also appear. The areas are also significant resting and feeding areas during bird migration.
Nature conservation goals:
The dismantling of the polders is intended to prevent the negative effects of peat extraction on water and the atmosphere. The shallow waters will silt over time and there will be a new peat bog. This simulates conditions that are similar to those in the post-glacial early phase of the development of the Peenetal moor. "
