Elbaue zwischen Saalemündung und Magdeburg, Nature reserve along the Elbe River between Saale confluence and Magdeburg, Germany.
Elbaue between Saale confluence and Magdeburg is a protected area with riverside forests, old river channels, meadows, and wetlands along the Elbe. These landscapes formed through the river's natural flooding over thousands of years.
The European Union recognized this area as a protected site in 2000. This decision marked a turning point for nature conservation in Germany and followed European guidelines for protecting endangered habitats.
The nine municipalities around this area shape the landscape through farming practices that work alongside nature conservation. People use the meadows and forests along paths that are part of local life.
The area is accessible through several paths that lead to observation points and through different landscape types. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when nature is particularly active.
The area is home to several rare animal species, including the fire-bellied toad, which is typical for this region. These species and many others depend on the river's natural flooding cycles for survival.
