Der Loben

Der Loben is a nature reserve spanning three municipalities in eastern Brandenburg and protects approximately 700 hectares of land. The area contains forests, lakes, and wetlands that form different habitats for wildlife and vegetation.

The reserve was officially designated as a protected area in 1981 as part of Germany's broader conservation efforts. The designation reflected the growing environmental movement of that era to preserve natural landscapes.

The reserve demonstrates Germany's systematic approach to nature protection, integrating scientific research with environmental preservation through the Federal Nature Conservation Act.

The reserve is accessible to visitors through marked walking trails that allow exploration of the landscape. It is important to follow the posted rules and guidelines to protect the wildlife and plant life.

The reserve contains multiple ecosystems that support diverse populations of native plant species, mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians within its boundaries.
