Alte Oder

The Alte Oder is a river branch in Brandenburg that winds through the landscape and connects with other waterways. It creates a network of water channels that support diverse plant and animal habitats throughout the region.

The river branch served as an important trade route in medieval times, when merchants transported goods between settlements across the region. This role in connecting communities shaped how the area developed over time.

The river shapes daily life for local fishermen who practice traditional methods here that have been part of the region for generations. This connection to the water remains visible in how people use and respect the waterway today.

The river can be reached via marked paths that connect multiple entry points throughout the area. Parking facilities are available at various locations to help visitors explore the waterway comfortably.

Water levels change throughout the seasons, creating different habitats for aquatic plants and migratory birds at different times of year. These natural shifts mean the landscape looks quite different depending on when you visit.
