Beskrivning

The Heuckenlock nature reserve is located in the south of Hamburg's Elbe island of Wilhelmsburg, outside the flood protection systems and is repeatedly flooded during storm surges. In the forest and reed belt you can find pungmes, sydnäktergal, hornuggla, mindre hackspett, trastsångare, kärrsångare and Sävsparv. But havsörn, herons and Storskarv can also be found. A hiking trail leads through the area.

In addition to birds, the nature reserve also offers a lot for plant lovers. The oldest tree was a 400-year-old white elm with a trunk circumference of over four meters, which fell in 2013 but is still alive. There are over 400 different species of plants, including rare plants such as the wild tulip, checkerboard flower and the very rare hemlock water fennel.
