Süderlügumer Binnendünen

The inland dune system extends over 42 hectares of sandy terrain, featuring heather fields and natural vegetation patterns across rolling sand formations.

The dunes formed after the Weichsel glaciation period, approximately 10,000 years ago, when wind-blown sand deposits created this natural formation.

The reserve functions as an educational site where visitors learn about the region's geological processes and observe rare species in their natural habitat.

Access points with parking facilities are available at Norderstrasse and Zur Heide street, connecting directly to the walking paths through the dunes.

The area houses the red tubular spider, typically found in Southern Europe, making this northern German location an unexpected habitat for this species.
