The Elbe Valley Dunes near Klein Schmölen are a unique natural phenomenon in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, about 100 kilometers from the sea. They were formed around 12,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age and today form the largest inland shifting dune in Europe – up to 42 meters high and about two kilometers long. On the nutrient-poor, dry sandy areas, you will find rare plants and animals, including endangered insect species and the sand sedge. The dunes are located on the edge of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Elbe River Landscape Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which, with its near-natural floodplain landscape, offers great opportunities for nature experiences and relaxation.
