Nordoe Inland Dunes Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the most beautiful spots on earth I know! Here I was with grandma and grandfather 35 years ago for bathing, when it was still forbidden, but was perforce tolerated by the German army.

Since March 2013, the former Bundeswehr training area in Nordoe and immediately adjacent areas in the area of the municipalities of Dägeling, Kremperheide and Breitenburg have been a 407 large nature reserve. The Nature Conservation Foundation, together with the communities involved, wants to permanently protect the "inland dunes of Nordoe" on an area of 407 hectares. The nature reserve is a special protection area for the most part. (Source: https://www.kremperheide.de/freizeit-kultur/nahererung/nordoer-binnenduenen.html)

Since the beginning of 2013, the FFH area "Binnendünen Nordoe" has not only been a special protection area of European interest but also designated as a nature reserve under national law. The former military use has preserved the rest of an old inland dune area here and a partly uncoupled common land landscape these are protected from intensive agriculture, drainage, plowing up, fertilization or large-scale afforestation.Distinctive habitats include open sand pioneer plains, pine-covered inland dunes, grasslands, heather inland dunes, damp dwarf shrub heaths, and kratt-like oak forests.Many of the plant and animal species found in the area are Rare and highly endangered. Here you will find one of your last retreats in Schleswig-Holstein. The aim of protected area management is to preserve a spacious, open landscape in which the nutrient-poor conditions in particular are preserved.
