Guided Story

Imagine standing in a place that's been a sanctuary since 1989. Right here in the heart of Hamburg. Can you hear the gentle lapping of the Süderelbe? It’s amazing how the silence here seems to swallow the city's noise. Look up, you might spot a white-tailed eagle soaring above. What's fascinating is how the forgotten riverbeds and floodplain forests are teeming with life in their own unique way. Behind you, the Westerweiden stretch out, another haven for nature lovers. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a shy kingfisher darting across the water. It's easy to lose track of time here, isn’t it?
