Außenems

Außenems is a nature reserve spanning the municipalities of Emden, Krummhörn, and Bunde with wetlands and coastal landscapes. It forms a mosaic of water, marshland, and open areas where different animal and plant species live.

The area was placed under state protection in 2019 to preserve its natural habitats. This decision was part of a broader effort to secure coastal habitats in northern Germany.

The area reflects its location through local names tied to coastal geography. Visitors notice how water and plants work together here, shaping the life of birds and wildlife that can be spotted throughout.

Multiple entry points surround the area, leading visitors to different sections. Paths are marked but remain quiet, keeping visits on appropriate routes without major infrastructure.

Regular research here reveals new findings about bird migration patterns and how species adapt to climate change. The area serves as a natural laboratory for studies that help improve coastal conservation strategies.
