The Volksdorf pond meadows invite you to listen to the sounds of nature.

The pond meadows were formed during the ice age more than 15,000 years ago. This is strongly reflected in the landscape features, extensive meadows and pastures and a flat valley landscape invite you to let your gaze wander. Large tree giants border the valley from the north and south. The nature reserve provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. With a little luck, you can spot a lapwing here. In addition, numerous orchids bloom in the meadows in the summer, starting around June, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the grasshoppers and birds making music.

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.
