Steinbeckforst

The Steinbeckforst is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxony town of Harsefeld in the Samtgemeinde Harsefeld in the district of Stade.

The nature reserve with the designation NSG LÜ 325 is about 70 hectares in size. It is almost completely part of the FFH area "Auetal und Nebentäler". In the north, the area borders on the "Aueniederung und Nebentäler" nature reserve, which was designated in 1997 and with which it forms a biotope network and to which it belonged before it was designated as an independent nature reserve in 2018. To the west and east, it borders mainly on the "Auetal" landscape conservation area. In the northeast, a small part of the "Auetal" landscape conservation area has been included in the nature reserve. The area has been a nature reserve since 29 June 2018. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of Stade.
