Elbwiesen, Natural landscape along Elbe River in Dresden, Germany

The Elbwiesen extends for 30 kilometers on both sides of the Elbe River, with widths ranging from a few meters to 400 meters in certain areas.

From 1952 to 1979, the left-side meadows served as a gliding airfield, marking a period of recreational aviation in Dresden's development.

Annual film festivals take place on the meadows, where sheep graze against the backdrop of Dresden's old town silhouette.

The meadows function as flood protection areas and contribute to drinking water extraction through the Hosterwitz and Tolkewitz water facilities.

The landscape incorporates protected habitats for specific plants and animals while serving as harvested hay fields with two annual collections.
