The Lundener Niederung nature reserve, one of the most important large-scale lowland areas on the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast, extends over around 900 hectares and includes a variety of habitats such as silted-up lagoons, remnants of raised and fen moors, wet grassland and open water areas such as the Mötjensee.
This area is an important breeding, feeding and resting place for numerous meadow, wading and water birds and offers ideal living conditions for amphibians such as moor frogs and common toads. Visitors can explore the nature reserve on hiking and riding trails and observe the diverse flora and fauna from the observation tower southwest of the Mötjensee.
A special highlight is the observation tower, from which you can enjoy a comprehensive view of the landscape. Information boards offer insights into the local flora and fauna as well as nature conservation in the region. With a bit of luck, you can even observe a pair of sea eagles that have settled near the Mötjensee.
The Lunden lowlands are looked after by the Mötjenpolder Rehm-Flehde-Bargen local history association and offer a unique nature experience thanks to its varied landscape.
