As part of the River Landscape 2024/2025 project, the Brandenburg Friends of Nature conducted an excursion to the oxbow junction near Breese with Jens Martin, a specialist at the State Office for the Environment. The Stepenitz is a key landscape component of the Prignitz region and a major, largely near-natural tributary of the Elbe. Between Perleberg and its confluence with the Elbe near Wittenberge, the Stepenitz is relatively structurally poor. As compensatory measures for the dike construction, two oxbows near Breese were connected in 2023 to improve the structural diversity at this location. Jens Martin explained the importance of river restoration and presented the measures implemented.
