Here you can discover virtually untouched forests, crystal-clear lakes, and romantic rivers still finding their way through nature. You will also find rare animals and plants here. A charming natural setting with picturesque hilly landscapes, forests, and lakes awaits you. The flora and fauna are diverse: for example, you can observe grey wagtails, kingfishers, and liverworts. Other special features of the area include the state's largest inland salt marsh near Sülten and rewetted kettle bogs, for example near Warin.

The story in brief: The glacier of the Ice Age came from Scandinavia, big, thick and fat (you can hardly imagine how fat it was!), pushed everything in front of it that stood in its way, and came to a standstill 16,000 years ago. The ice that melted flowed forward (i.e. south) and collected in large lakes. When it got warmer (15,000 years ago), the glacier crumbled and melted; the meltwater continued to flow forward (south) in channels, collected... and at some point (11,000 years ago) there was no glacier left, the surface was smooth and also lower, the direction of flow in the channels reversed... and the Warnow deepened the channel by pushing up hills (terminal moraine). Sure, everyone knows that. But seeing all this live, with a 30-40m difference in height between the chain of hills and the Warnow bed, with this story in mind, is a different matter, namely very impressive.
