Wittenbergen, Nature reserve in Rissen, Germany.
The Wittenbergen reserve contains dry forests, heaths, grasslands, alluvial forests, and wet meadows along the Elbe River coastline.
Established as Rissener Elbhang in 1986, the protected area underwent a notable expansion in January 2010 to strengthen conservation measures.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about native plants, wildlife species, and environmental conservation techniques.
Multiple hiking trails traverse the area, including the Wittenbergener Heide loop that starts from Elbhochufer and extends for 4.96 kilometers.
Two lighthouses, the Tinsdal upper fire and Wittenbergen lower fire, stand within the reserve, offering views across the Elbe River.
