Guided Story

Can you feel the breeze gently sweeping across the dunes? Right where you're standing, this nature reserve holds a remarkable story. The Wakenitzniederung is not just a sanctuary for rare species, but also a quiet storyteller. Look to your left, where you can see remnants of old peat digs. Once, people worked here to harvest peat for warmth. Now, these pits are silent witnesses of the past and vibrant habitats. Behind you, on the Herrnburg inland dune, the sand dances in the wind, creating ever-changing patterns – nature's own artwork. Here, you can lose track of time and immerse yourself in the tales this landscape has to share.
