Wandse

A near-natural river course to the edge of the city

the Wandse is Wandsbek's flowing namesake.

From Schleswig-Holstein, the Wandse winds its way to Wandsbek and finally enters the Außenalster. A tour along the river is highly recommended, as the Wandsee stretches through many green places. Up to the outskirts of the city, the Wandse can be explored excellently on foot or by bike.

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.
