Just a short walk from Altwarp you will find yourself in a beautiful juniper forest. Even though this type of tree is not unusual for the region, the density of common juniper is particularly high here.

The "Am Stettiner Haff" nature park is located in northeastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, directly on the border with Poland. Here you will find the vast, contiguous forests of the Ueckermünde Heath, the natural and undeveloped sections of the lagoon coast, lagoon meadows, the lowlands of the Uecker and Randow, and the Brohmer Hills. The landscape is characterized by small lakes, magnificent beech and mixed forests, and a wide variety of animals. The current landscape was formed approximately 12,000 to 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age. At that time, glaciers and meltwater formed the flat ground moraines, valleys, basins, and striking terminal moraines such as the Rosenthaler Randlage and the Brohmer Hills. Wind-blown sand blankets and inland dunes were deposited, which today make up the sandy area of the Ueckermünde Heath. You can discover a diverse landscape in the nature park: from wet moors and meadows to dry grasslands, extensive forests, and inland dunes. This diversity ensures that you'll find a particularly rich flora and fauna here—from rare birds to otters and many unique plant species.

One might ask how dunes are formed so far inland... The answer would be: during the last ice age, during centuries of thawing, these fine sands were transported into the lagoon by meltwater rivers and then piled up by the wind.

Inland dunes Size: 1460 ha Nature reserve since 1990 The nature reserve is registered as an FFH (flora, fauna, habitat) area and is part of the European bird sanctuary "Riether Werder, Gottesheide, Ahlbecker Seegrund". After the ice melted at the end of the Weichselian glaciation around 10,000 years ago, an inland dune massif was formed in the area of the former Haff reservoir immediately south of Altwarp, which is made up of irregularly arranged dune ridges. Inland dunes of this kind can only be found again in southwest Mecklenburg, particularly in the town of Klein-Schmölen near Dömitz.
