The Vier- und Marschlande consist of the 12 districts of Bergedorfs. Together they make up one of Hamburg's most beautiful nature reserves.
Surrounded by reeds and riparian forests, green meadows, old half-timbered houses with thatched roofs, colourful flower beds on the banks of the Dove Elbe, centuries-old baroque style churches and enchanting swimming lakes, the south-eastern outskirts of Hamburg truly calm the senses. Directly adjacent to the north side are the Holzhafen Nature Reserve and the Boberg Lowlands, where, with a bit of luck, white-tailed eagles can be seen circling around.
