Since the beginning of 2013, the FFH area "Binnendünen Nordoe" has not only been a special protection area of European interest but also designated as a nature reserve under national law. The former military use has preserved the rest of an old inland dune area here and a partly uncoupled common land landscape these are protected from intensive agriculture, drainage, plowing up, fertilization or large-scale afforestation.Distinctive habitats include open sand pioneer plains, pine-covered inland dunes, grasslands, heather inland dunes, damp dwarf shrub heaths, and kratt-like oak forests.Many of the plant and animal species found in the area are Rare and highly endangered. Here you will find one of your last retreats in Schleswig-Holstein. The aim of protected area management is to preserve a spacious, open landscape in which the nutrient-poor conditions in particular are preserved.
