Biosphärenreservat Flusslandschaft Elbe – Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

The reserve extends between Boizenburg and Dömitz, incorporating extensive floodplains, riparian forests, wetlands, and inland sand dunes along the Elbe River system.

The area received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in 1997, establishing a protected zone spanning 461 square kilometers of natural river landscapes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

The reserve maintains partnerships with 60 regional organizations that contribute to environmental education programs and sustainable development initiatives throughout the protected area.

Visitors can access the reserve through train stations in Boizenburg or Brahlstorf, while motorists can reach the area via highways A24 and B5.

The reserve features northern Germany's largest inland dunes, reaching 45 meters above sea level, and serves as a critical stopover for migrating geese and swans.
