Biosphärenreservat Niedersächsische Elbtalaue, Biosphere reserve in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The reserve extends along 100 kilometers of the Elbe River, featuring natural riverbanks, floodplain meadows, sandy dunes, and glacial moraines rising 70 meters above water level.
The Lower Saxonian State Parliament established the Niedersächsische Elbtalaue Biosphere Reserve in 2002 as part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Flusslandschaft Elbe.
Through centuries, local communities have maintained agricultural traditions in the river valley, integrating environmental protection with sustainable farming methods.
The reserve offers multiple observation points for bird watching, dedicated cycling paths, hiking trails, and guided tours led by twenty certified nature interpreters.
The area contains periodic flood meadows bordered by sand dunes from the post-ice age period, creating specific conditions for lichen-rich pinewoods and dry grasslands.
