Nature reserve Allermöhe meadows Allermöhe meadows at the old Billwerder railway embankment

Where trains once ran, nature has now reclaimed its habitat. A walk along the old Billwerder railway embankment leads through the middle of the Allermöhe meadows nature reserve.

With a bit of luck, you will spot black-tailed godwit and redshank in the wet meadows. The now rare lapwing and other endangered bird and plant species also feel at home along the old railway embankment and in the meadows criss-crossed by numerous ditches.

Stadtpark

On sunny days, the Stadtpark is buzzing - young and old meet on the large city park fields to play soccer, have picnics, sunbathe and let the kites fly. At the edge of the large meadow there's a playground with a giant swing, slide and lots of equipment. The shallow pool is a special delight for little water lovers.
