Lieberose Desert, Nature reserve in Brandenburg, Germany

The Lieberose Desert extends over five square kilometers of sandy terrain with sparse vegetation, surrounded by pine forests in eastern Germany.

The area transformed into its current state following a large forest fire in 1942 and subsequent decades of military exercises by Soviet forces until 1994.

The Brandenburg Natural Landscapes Foundation acquired the desert in 2006 to establish a wilderness area for ecological research and conservation purposes.

Access to certain sections remains restricted due to unexploded ordnance from previous military activities, requiring visitors to stay on marked paths.

The sandy soil demonstrates extreme temperature variations between day and night, supporting specialized plants like silver hair moss and sand reed grass.
