Nature reserves Höltigbaum & Stellmoor Tunneltal

The two nature reserves Höltigbaum and Stellmoor Tunneltal are popular destinations for excursions. Horse riders, hikers and walkers criss-cross the varied hilly landscape. Inline skaters do their laps on the wide concrete path.

Various circular hiking trails with significant names such as "Glacier Trace" or "Gallo-Way" lead through the nature reserves. They indicate that the marshy landscape was created in the most recent ice age when melt water drained away and dug a valley. Today, sheep and Galloway cattle maintain the open grassland.

Visitor Centre and Show Enclosure

At the Haus der Wilden Weiden visitor centre in Hamburg-Rahlstedt, guests can find out more about the formation of the Höltigbaum and the Stellmoor Tunneltal, as well as their flora and fauna. Popular among families with children is the show enclosure where Bentheimer Land sheep, forest goats and cattle graze.

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.

Stadtpark Hamburg

The Hamburg Stadtpark with its more than 150 hectares is a real "multicultural location". On beautiful weekends, sometimes more than 200,000 people come here to enjoy sports, have a nice barbecue, make or listen to some music or simply relax.
In summer, the Stadtparksee becomes an open-air swimming pool - and apart from that, you can also enjoy pedal and rowing boats.

The planetarium in the former water tower is also always worth a visit: in addition to a unique journey through the universe, it regularly offers wonderful children's documentaries and chill out evenings.

The groves, bushes and embankments are home to a multitude of native and immigrated animal and plant species, and in summer the open-air stage invites you to interesting open-air concerts: from rock to folk, world-famous artists always like to come to "the park". In and around the Stadtpark there are of course also cafés and restaurants that await guests with snacks and delicacies. Very popular for evening events is the beer garden "Schumachers", which is located directly at the Stadtparksee outdoor pool. Further locations for relaxing are the beer garden "Landhaus Walter", "Café Sommerterrassen" and "Die Bucht".
