Nature reserve Hainisch Iland

© Viridi Silva

Well-signposted hiking and walking trails lead through the old rural cultural landscape. Pastures, meadows and fields, orchards and the wooded valley of the Alster tributary give the landscape an idyllic touch.

In spring the fruit trees blossom, in summer wildflowers dot the meadows and in autumn the yellow of the cornfields shines. In between are old beech and oak trees, hedges and groups of deciduous woodland through which the Saselbek, a tributary of the Alster, babbles. It's no wonder that numerous water birds and amphibians feel at home here.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Hamburg North

Hamburg North is a wonderful place to live. The city centre can be reached in no time, and there is plenty of nature nearby. Everything goes at a slightly slower pace here. But there are still many things to see and do.

Oasis in the city. Außenalster

The Alster divides into the Binnen- and Außenalster at the Lombardsbrücke bridge. The Außenalster in particular offers excellent recreational opportunities with its numerous parks and adjacent sports facilities. The banks of the Alster in Harvestehude, Uhlenhorst and Winterhude are the preferred living quarters of the wealthy Hamburg residents.

Nature reserve "Die Reit"

Where Gose Elbe and Dove Elbe meet, lies the delightful landscape of the small nature reserve Die Reit. Past small lakes and ponds, you walk through primeval, swampy beech forest. From the Reit dike, your gaze sweeps over green meadows and waving reed beds.
