Tal der Langballigau

Tal der Langballigau, Protected area in Dollerup, Langballig, and Westerholz, Germany.

Description

The Tal der Langballigau is a nature reserve featuring a deep stream valley where the Langballigau river winds through the landscape with its tributaries Schulau and Schiebek. The terrain combines open grasslands with wetland zones that shift with the seasons.

History

The protected area was officially established in 1990 and contains a large burial mound field documented by regional archaeological authorities. These findings reveal that the valley has been inhabited and used since prehistoric times.

Culture

Local land stewards use cattle grazing to manage the reed beds and maintain the natural wetland environment as it has been done for generations. You can observe this ongoing practice during your visit.

Practical

The reserve can be accessed via Kreisstraße 97 near Langballigholz at the point where the Langballigau flows into the Flensburger Förde inlet. Be prepared for wet and muddy ground in the lower valley sections, especially during wetter periods.

Did you know?

The northern section contains grasslands influenced by saltwater that experience periodic flooding in the lower valley areas. These unusual habitats form where the nearby inlet periodically reaches inland.
