Approximately 2,200 kilometers of waterways run through the Drömling region, which is why it is also called the "Land of a Thousand Ditches." The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve provides a habitat for numerous rare and endangered animal and plant species. The area of the biosphere reserve extends over 450 square kilometers from the southwestern edge of the Altmark region along the Mittelland Canal to the northwest of Saxony-Anhalt. In addition to the waterways, the landscape is characterized by deciduous forests, meadows, fields, and moors.

from here you have a wonderful view over the wide meadow landscape and the many bushes and trees, a dreamlike landscape, unfortunately the paths there are very bad.

For centuries, the Drömling was a region in which no one was really interested (moorland, poor soil, border landscape). This is well explained using the example of Kaiserwinkel.

The whole Drömling is one of the largest settlement areas of Master Adebar, who nests here in many places and can be observed very well.

The largest part of the Drömling is in Saxony-Anhalt. In terms of landscape, of course, nothing changes due to the political national border. You will also find peace and seclusion in the Lower Saxony part.
