Lippeaue, Nature reserve in Lippetal and Lippstadt, Germany
Description
Lippeaue is a nature reserve extending along the Lippe River with wetlands, meadows, forests, and riverside habitats spread across two municipalities. The area combines different landscape types, creating diverse living spaces within one connected expanse.
History
The reserve was established in 1988 and expanded significantly in 1996. This growth reflects increasing recognition of the need to protect the river landscape in the region.
Culture
White storks nest in Hellinghauser Mersch today, returning after many decades away from this landscape. Their presence shows how this place has become home to wildlife again through careful management and restoration.
Practical
Multiple entry points provide access to the area, with parking available near Lippborg. Visitors should be prepared for changing ground conditions, as certain sections may have different accessibility depending on the season.
Did you know?
Taurus cattle and Konik horses graze sections of the area, shaping the landscape through natural pasture management. These animals keep habitats open and prevent rapid overgrowth of vegetation.
