Fahle Heide, Gifhorner Heide, Nature reserve near Gifhorn, Germany
The protected area spans 352 hectares of dune fields, shallow moors, and wetlands formed by glacial sand deposits in the Aller river valley.
The current nature reserve emerged in 2014 through the merger of two separate protected zones: Fahle Heide, established in 1994, and Gifhorner Heide from 1962.
The region holds ecological value through its network of walking paths, enabling residents to connect with natural landscapes of Lower Saxony.
Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails, with the Aller Canal marking the southern and western boundaries of the protected zone.
The reserve contains distinctive dune valleys filled with shallow moors and specific vegetation including dwarf shrubs, blueberries, and heather plants.
