Gut Lanken
Highlight • Historical Site
The nature reserve, which consists of two areas, is located northeast of Schwarzenbek. It includes part of the former “Lanken” training area, which was around 600 hectares in size and was used until the end of 1994, with the Lindhorst and Ahrenshorst forests as well as part of the upper reaches of the Steinau with its bank areas.
It is characterized by a variety of habitats, including open and semi-open landscapes with pioneer lawns, mineral grass fields, herbaceous edges, small bodies of water and wet grassland with interspersed woody areas and kinks as well as moist and wet forests. Some areas within the nature reserve are used for agriculture. Abandoned former agricultural land is being taken over by successional fauna.
The Steinau lowlands in the north of the nature reserve are still partly close to nature.
In the nature reserve, the different habitats include: Silver grass, small hawkweed, cowslip and swamp iris can be found. The nature reserve is the habitat of various species of birds and amphibians, grasshoppers and dragonflies, including skylarks, partridges, tree frogs, green hayhorses and blue-green mosaic damselflies.
Unfortunately, in 2012, a large part of the area was converted into a huge "solar park". This area is therefore no longer accessible to the public.
Fortunately, a lot of beautiful nature has been preserved all around, which is ideal for bike tours or hikes.
