The Lenzener Elbtalauen, a transnational biosphere reserve, is the "river landscape" Elbe: an ideal opportunity for nature-loving visitors to spend their holiday, whether sunny stork time or wild goose time, whether on foot, by bike or by canoe.
The Green Belt, valuable biotope areas along the former German/German border, is part of the National Natural Heritage. The former border river "Elbe" characterises this area. Along the river you will find wet meadows and remnants of floodplain forests, behind Lenzen the wide floodplains can be observed from the dyke. Lapwings and grey geese can be seen there, as well as Arctic geese and whooper swans in winter. The railway bridge, destroyed in 1945, and the only completely preserved pentagonal lowland fortress in northern Germany, Dömitz Fortress, can be explored by bike. The "village of Rüterberg", also located near Dömitz, is a community in the former border area that was completely fenced in from 1967 to 1989 and could only be reached via a road secured by a barrier, which you can learn about on a signposted circular route.not far from Dömitz, you can hike the highest inland dune in the Elbe valley, which is over 40 metres high, on designated paths. Or you can drive towards Ludwigslust (castle complex, railway station) or further towards the state capital of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Schwerin, and visit the town or the castle.
