Biosphere crossing

From station to station, the Biosphere Crossing takes you on a bike saddle straight through the Elbe's primeval valley. The route leads you right through fields and meadows between Brahlstorf and Dahlenburg. In the wet Sudewiesen near Preten, Heck cattle (Aurochs) and the wild Konik horses ensure the preservation of this valuable open landscape. This also benefits the stork and other endangered species that feel very comfortable here. You can experience the history of the former inner-German border up close in the Marschhufendörfern Konau and Popelau. The ferry crossing over the Elbe is also worthwhile. On this route through the "Niedersächsische Elbtalaue" biosphere reserve, it becomes clear: the Elbe river landscape is a natural landscape shaped by humans for centuries, in which nature has nevertheless been given enough space to unfold. On the Biosphere Crossing, far away from highways and big cities, you experience the full diversity of this unique spot on earth!
