Sorgwohld

Sorgwohld is a nature reserve near Owschlag spanning around 39 hectares and features inland dunes, heathland, and scattered pine and birch forest. The landscape shows gentle slopes and open areas with typical vegetation for this region.

The reserve was established as a protected area in 1936 to safeguard the landscape. The dunes formed after the last Ice Age as winds carried sand from nearby sandy deposits.

The reserve belongs to the European NATURA 2000 network and plays a role in protecting the region's natural diversity. Visitors come primarily to walk through the landscape and observe rare animal species in their natural habitat.

The reserve can be explored on foot using marked hiking trails that pass through different landscape types. Visitors should follow conservation guidelines to protect the sensitive ecosystem from disturbance.

The reserve is home to specialized insect species and ground-nesting birds that make their nests here. Some of these species are rare or absent elsewhere in the region.
