Dünengebiet und Halsetal bei Verden-Neumühlen

The Dünengebiet nature reserve contains inland dunes with exposed sand surfaces and mixed oak forests along the edges of the protected area.

The formation of these inland dunes occurred during the ice ages when water movements transported sand deposits into the Aller river lowlands.

The nature reserve represents a geological heritage site where visitors can learn about sand dune formation through educational trails and observation platforms.

The protected area covers 15.6 hectares and ranges from 33 to 41 meters above sea level, located in the northeastern part of Verden.

The site maintains rare lichen communities known as lichen lawns, alongside specialized plants such as sand sedge and grey hair-grass.
