Uckermark: Experience pure nature and plant trees for the future!

In the picturesque Uckermark in the north-east of Brandenburg, the focus is on a unique natural experience: the UNESCO Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve. This region, which extends over large parts, combines breathtaking landscapes, including the protected Grumsin beech forest, which is part of the World Heritage Site, and the Lower Oder Valley National Park - Germany's only floodplain national park. Magdeburg News emphasizes that the region is an excellent destination for nature enthusiasts who are looking for relaxation and activity.

But what makes the Uckermark so special? In addition to its fascinating flora and fauna, the biosphere reserve is part of the UNESCO “Man and the Biosphere” program, which has existed since 1970 and evaluates biosphere reserves worldwide. The aim is to find a balance between human needs and nature conservation. In this context, innovative projects are repeatedly launched to promote sustainable economic practices and secure biological diversity. Schorfheide-Chorin Supports, among other things, the preservation of biodiversity with the “Trees for the Uckermark” initiative, where tree seedlings can be purchased in order to actively promote forest preservation.

Diverse excursion destinations

The region also has a lot to offer, which makes the trip a real experience. The NABU nature adventure center Blumberger Mühle, the Gut Kerkow and the Hemme-Milch-Hof in Schmargendorf near Angermünde are particularly popular. The Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park is ideal for water hikers, where numerous waterways meander and invite you to explore.

With a wide range of activities, visitors are offered an unforgettable nature experience. The area is a refuge for endangered species, including sea eagles, ospreys and lesser spotted eagles, which breed here. Cranes and black storks also find ideal habitats here. The large, unfragmented lowland beech forests provide an excellent habitat for the diversity of flora and fauna. The BfN points out that such reserves represent important model regions for linking sustainable development and nature conservation.

Sustainable future

The need to promote sustainable use of resources, especially for future generations, is very important in the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve. Numerous projects, such as the EU-LIFE project ZENAPA, focus on the sustainable use and promotion of the regional economy. Companies that operate sustainably contribute to the positive development of the region thanks to a special test mark that has been awarded since 1998.
