Unfortunately, the facility has aged a bit and the exhibition is no longer didactically modern. Some exhibits are defective, pictures are faded, and the aquarium panes are mossy. A barrier made of construction fence elements has been standing at the tower for more than 2 years. The content is interesting, but more could be made of it.

From there you have a great view over the Elbtalaue. It's definitely worth it!

Anyone who visits the Biosphaerium Elbtalaue can expect not only an aquarium landscape, a beaver facility and an exhibition all about the biosphere reserve with many interactive elements, but also a lookout tower that offers a view of the floodplain. It only costs €2 to enter and it's really worth it. As an integrated part of the overall system, you reach the viewing platform after a good 90 steps at a height of 20 meters. The modern steel construction was installed in the historic tower stump in 2002. This approach affected the historical substance as little as possible. The height of today's tower is based on the historical height, as far as it can be read from old drawings. The origins of the tower probably lie in the second half of the 13th century. Over the centuries it may have served as a defense and prison tower, but also to control the shipping on the Elbe that was within sight. After all, it was time to collect the Elbe toll. Today you climb the spiral staircase for pleasure and enjoy the fantastic view. http://www.biosphaerium.de/wir-ueber-uns/historisches-zum-schloss-bleckede.html

The viewing platform of the castle tower of Bleckede Castle offers a fantastic 360 degree view of the landscape and gives an idea of how well nature and culture can be experienced in and around Bleckede with plenty of space and expanse. The climb is well worth it and is included in the entry price of just €2 for the Biosphaerium. https://luene-info.de/termine/2020/september/bleckede.html
