Plagefenn, Protected nature reserve in Chorin, Germany.
The Plagefenn Nature Reserve encompasses 1,054 hectares of land, including two lakes named Großer and Kleiner Plagesee surrounded by extensive moorland.
The area received its first protection status in 1907 under forest master Max Kienitz, making it Northern Germany's earliest designated nature reserve.
Medieval Zisterzienser monks developed an intricate system of drainage ditches throughout the area, connecting various marshes for water management purposes.
Multiple hiking trails cross through the reserve, with a moderate 11.7-kilometer circular route starting from Liepe offering views of the protected landscape.
The reserve formed from a glacier tongue basin during the Vistula glaciation period, creating distinct water bodies that interact directly with surrounding moorlands.
