Fischbeker Heide, Nature reserve in Neugraben-Fischbek, Germany
Description
Fischbeker Heide is a nature reserve south of Hamburg featuring open heathland, boggy areas, and wooded sections. The terrain shifts between grassland and forest, with trails cutting through and water channels visible throughout.
History
The area received protection status in 1948 and became officially designated as a nature reserve in 1958. An expansion during the 1990s significantly increased the protected land.
Culture
The name reflects centuries of human use by people in the region. Visitors walk on marked paths and see how the open landscape depends on regular care to stay as it is today.
Practical
The reserve is easily reached on foot from parking areas, with the main access near Scharlbargstieg being the most convenient. Maintained trails wind through the landscape and remain passable even after rain.
Did you know?
A glider club has operated a small airfield within the reserve since the early 1900s. Visitors can watch weekend flights or even experience a gliding flight themselves.
