Wipper im Ostharz, Special Area of Conservation in Harzgerode and Südharz, Germany.
The Wipper im Ostharz conservation area spans 39.3 hectares along the Wipper River, featuring natural riverbanks lined with alder and ash trees.
The European Union designated this area as a Special Area of Conservation in 2000 to protect its natural habitats under the Habitats Directive.
The conservation area connects multiple communities including Harzgerode, Südharz, Mansfeld, and Sangerhausen through its environmental protection initiatives.
The protected zone extends approximately 40 kilometers, with access points near Highway 234 north of Hayn and Highway 232 east of Wolfsberg.
The river valleys serve as hunting grounds for multiple bat species, while also providing habitats for European brook lampreys and great crested newts.
