March 20, 2025,Weg der Auenblicke - Runde von Stützkow

From the parking lot on the hillside in Stützkow, we crossed the Oder Canal. First, we went to the observation tower on the Oder 🦅. Until mid-April, the path along the Oder is closed off by electric fences due to African swine fever. Otherwise, there are a few lovely paths through the polders that offer a pleasant walk.
The paved …

Sun! After the onset of winter in the last few days, spring has come around today.
We walked the "Weg der Auenblicke" in the Lower Oder Valley National Park. The first part led through the forest from Criewen to Stützkow. We had a wonderful view from the vantage point there. The Oder meadows are now, in March, under water. There …

December 16, 2023,Wanderung Nationalpark Unteres Odertal

Shortly before Christmas I always go to my old home, the Uckermark. The Lower Oder Valley National Park is nearby and was ideal for a hiking trip. The national park is one of the most species-rich habitats in Germany. In addition to the floodplain landscape, it has natural mixed deciduous forests and dry grasslands rich in flowers in the adjacent …

This tour gets 10/10 points, although the second part on the dike is very asphalt-heavy. But the route through the "Auenwald" is all the more beautiful. In Criewen you can finish off by walking through the beautiful Lenné Park, which is also known as Little Sanssouci. A fine, small tour, easy to do in an afternoon. Very good parking at …

It protects a floodplain that represents the last largely intact estuary in Central Europe, with its adjacent slopes, mixed deciduous forests, and flower-rich dry grasslands. With its oxbows and regularly flooded floodplains, the Lower Oder …

January 25, 2026,Oh, what a day..

I snapped a few photos of cranes, mute swans, cormorants, a keen eagle, some deer, and the landscape.

But when you photograph a greylag goose swimming on the Oder River and then suddenly think you see a seal in the background, your jaw just drops. With a real thud, actually.
