Nature reserve of 375 hectares near Bremen. The wet grasslands are crossed by the streams of Ochtum and the Alte Ochtum as well as numerous canals and ditches.
The Ochtumniederung bei Brokhuchting is characterized by wet meadows, marshy areas, reed beds and floodplain bushes. Some of the meadows are used extensively as grassland for agriculture. In the north-west of the protected area, a polder is created as a floodplain. In the winter months, the meadows in the protected area are also frequently flooded. As a result, the nature reserve is of great importance for resting waterfowl and waders. The area is also of particular importance as a breeding area for meadow birds. The nature reserve is home to калуѓерка, црвенонога тринга, црноопашна блатарка, обична бекасина, патка лажичарка, сипка торбарка, Синогушка and рибарче.
A road runs through the protected area. There are several places for nature observation in the nature reserve, such as a viewing platform on the southern edge of the flood polder and two observation hills near the Ochtum in the southeast. The viewing platform has a small parking area. Click on the P in the map for directions.
