Haff Réimech

Haff Réimech is a nature reserve near Schengen comprising wetlands, floodplains, and meadows connected into a single ecosystem. These habitats support diverse wildlife and form an integrated network of natural spaces.

The reserve was officially established in 1998 as part of Luxembourg's efforts to protect its natural heritage. This designation launched a long-term commitment to safeguarding the region's native wildlife and habitats.

The Biodiversum within the reserve serves as an educational hub where visitors discover how the local ecosystem functions and why protection matters. Exhibits here explain the relationship between people and nature in the region.

The reserve offers hiking trails throughout its landscape and a visitor center with exhibitions and guided nature tours. Exploring on foot at a leisurely pace allows visitors to observe wildlife and understand the different habitat types.

The reserve acts as a natural water storage system that replenishes groundwater while protecting the surrounding land from flooding. This hidden function is often overlooked but plays a vital role in the region's health.
