Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in western Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
The Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve spans 310 square kilometers, featuring a central lake with islands, peninsulas, and extensive reedbeds surrounded by forests and wetlands.
From 1952 to 1990, the area served as a restricted military zone along the Inner German Border, allowing natural ecosystems to develop without human interference.
The reserve demonstrates sustainable practices where traditional activities like grazing and forestry coexist with environmental preservation initiatives.
Visitors can explore 150 kilometers of hiking trails and cycling paths through diverse landscapes while observing eagles, cranes, otters, and kingfishers.
The reserve contains an established population of greater rheas, non-native birds that escaped and now number in the hundreds throughout the protected area.
