Unteres Peenetal

The Unteres Peenetal is a protected area consisting of wetlands, reed beds, marshes, and grasslands spread across the Peene River valley. The terrain includes multiple landscape types that support different plant and animal communities throughout the year.

The area received official protection in 1981 to preserve the Peene River ecosystem and its peatland habitats. This action was taken to safeguard rare plant species and migratory bird populations in the region.

The reserve holds significance for locals and visitors as a place where natural processes unfold without much human interference. People come here to reconnect with wetland environments and observe wildlife in their daily routines.

The reserve has multiple walking trails and observation points spread throughout its area for visitors to explore. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit when migratory birds pass through and the landscape is most active.

The peatland supports rare sphagnum mosses and bog plants that thrive only in very wet and acidic conditions found here. These specialized species make the valley an important refuge for plants that struggle to survive in most other environments.
