Description

The Krummenhagener See nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a crucial area for biodiversity, especially noted for its rich bird life. This protected landscape encompasses the lake itself and important habitats like alder carr forests, which contribute to its ecological value. The area is integral to the larger network of protected sites, including the EU Birds Directive area "Nordvorpommersche Waldlandschaft" and the FFH area "Krummenhagener See, Borgwallsee und Pütter See." The primary purpose of its designation is to safeguard the diverse avian species that rely on its waters and surrounding woodlands for breeding, feeding, and resting. A dam, established in 1994, helps maintain consistent water levels, supporting these delicate ecosystems. A viewing platform offers opportunities to observe the open water and its inhabitants.
