Beskrivning
One of Hamburgs biggest nature reserves lies in the north-east of the city and boasts a wide variety of habitats and lots of special wildlife. In addition to enigmatic birds such as Trana, havsörn, berguv or spillkråka, many inconspicuous species such as flodsångare, svartvit flugsnappare or stenknäck can be found. Furthermore, the reserve boasts a huge list of mammals, including huge Red Deer and Fallow Deer (best observed in autumn), herps, rare dragonflies and butterflies, etc.

Tillgänglighet
By car: There are several parking spots around the Duvenstedter Brook, but the best spot is next to the BrookHus at Duvenstedter Triftweg 140. One can also park near Wiemerskamp (Wiemerskamper Weg 1-5) or along the Herrenhausallee (parking at intersection with Brügkamp).
By metro: Drive the subway "U1" until the last stop "Ohlstedt". Then go north for about 3km. You can already watch and listen for birds during the walk through the Wohldorfer Wald
The Duvenstedter Brook is closed to cars, so one has to either walk or go by bike. Since the distances are quite large, a bike is definitely helpful, but not all trails allow these
