Steveraue, Protected area along River Stever in Olfen and Lüdinghausen, Germany
The Steveraue spans nine kilometers along the sandy lowland river, featuring natural floodplains bordered by terrace edges reaching four meters in height.
The protected area status was established in 1996 and received additional conservation measures in 2005 to preserve the natural river landscape.
The area connects two Münsterland towns, with Lüdinghausen Castle and Vischering Castle forming part of the surrounding cultural landscape.
Visitors can explore extensive walking paths through grasslands and observe Konik horses and Heck cattle that maintain the natural vegetation.
The conservation area includes an intricate old arm complex near Füchtelner Mühle, supporting populations of the European Weather Loach.
