Lake Jastorf was created in 1976 through soil extraction as a compensatory measure for the construction of the Elbe Lateral Canal. Since 1977, the "Jastorf Lake Bird Sanctuary" has been designated a nature reserve. From the very beginning, parts of the lake were planned and developed as nature conservation areas.

Approximately half of Lake Jastorf, including its surrounding areas, has been declared a nature reserve. The 16.5-hectare area is the most important waterbird sanctuary in the Uelzen region. Deepwater and shallow water zones were created to protect birds.

There are many water birds to watch here. An observation tower offers a good view of the lake. Take binoculars!

As the lake is a bird sanctuary, there is no direct access to the lake shore. But there is an observation post (a small wooden tower), from which you have a good overview of the lake. From here you can e.g. wonderful to watch the birds on the lake.
