Oberalsterniederung

The Oberalsterniederung extends across 907 hectares of meadows, forests, and wetlands along the upper Alster River and Rönne River in Schleswig-Holstein.

The lowland area formed at the end of the Weichselian glaciation from an extensive glacial lake where water drained eastward at the glacier front.

The Alster spring features a decorative bronze cover and stone wall enclosure, constructed in 1953 to mark the river's source point.

Multiple paths throughout the protected area allow visitors to explore by foot or bicycle, with information panels installed at various points along the routes.

The Schlappenmoor section contains a wet meadow with numerous orchid species and provides habitat for endangered birds like the Eurasian curlew.
