Bredenbeker Pond
Highlight • Lake
The vast expanse of water in the nature reserve is surrounded by dense greenery and old trees. Lots of nature for humans and animals. Close to the 60 meter high Bocksberg. On the opposite bank of the Bredenbeker pond there are leisure facilities such as a lido, camping site and golf courses.

Forest trails in the Höltigbaum Nature Reserve
Highlight (Segment) • Forest
The Höltigbaum nature reserve consists of the areas Höltigbaum, Stellmoorer Tunneltal and Ahrensburger Tunneltal. The so-called Hamburger Ring natural area has a total area of 1000 hectares, making it one of the largest nature reserves in the Hanseatic city. The ice masses that lay in the area around 15,000 years ago have done their best to leave behind a beautiful landscape. In addition to the wide, semi-open pastures, you hike over drumlins - long hills left behind by the ice age - and through tunnel valleys that were formed by meltwater running off under the ice masses.
Over time, humans also influenced the area through agricultural use. Extensive cultivation continued for many decades. However, because fertilizers and pesticides were not used, there is now a largely unaffected natural area in which rare species have survived.
For example, the red-backed shrike feels very comfortable in the Höltig tree. The brutal name belongs to a medium-sized songbird that impales its prey - insects, lizards or even a mouse - on the thorns of a tree. There are also woodlarks and yellowhammers, various amphibian species such as sand lizards and great crested newts, and two endangered species: polecats and pygmy shrews. On a hike through the nature reserve you will also come across Galloway cattle, sheep or goats grazing in the wild meadows.
The flora was heavily influenced by the military use of the area in the mid-20th century. The heavy vehicles repeatedly destroyed the vegetation cover, so that many pioneer plants that were more resistant to the difficult conditions were established. The Kratt forests with their multi-stemmed oaks and the wild apple and wild pear trees are also striking.
