Natural landscapes in the big city Hamburgs nature reserves at a glance
Enchanted moors, dense leafy forests, mudflats and marshes, wet meadows along the Elbe, dry sand dunes and blooming heath - in Hamburg's 37 nature reserves you can discover a wide variety of natural landscapes. This means that around 9 per cent of the state's area is under protection, a figure that no other federal state can match. We will show you where you can best discover the species-rich flora and fauna. A true animal paradise is the Duvenstedter Brook nature reserve, where red deer call to rut in autumn. The Fischbeker Heide is an ideal hiking area, and not just when the heathland is in bloom, and in the Boberg dunes you will feel as if you are at the North Sea.
