Beerenbruch

Beerenbruch is a protected natural area consisting of wetlands and woodlands spread across a large expanse. The landscape is characterized by old willows and nutrient-rich lakes surrounded by diverse plant growth.

The area was officially designated as protected in 1987, becoming part of Germany's nature conservation network. Further measures to secure and improve the habitats were carried out in 2005.

The area draws birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts who come to observe the variety of native species in their natural habitat. The mix of open water and dense forest creates different environments that invite visitors to watch and photograph wildlife.

Visitors can explore the area on marked trails and enjoy the calm of the reserve. It is important to stay on the paths and keep distance from water and sensitive areas to avoid disturbing wildlife.

The area contains several water-filled bomb craters from World War II that are now integrated into the wetland ecosystem. These bodies of water have naturally evolved into valuable habitats for plants and animals.
