Ostufer Tiefwaren - Falkenhäger Bruch protects a unique end moraine landscape. It's home to the rare liverwort Cryptothallus mirabilis, diverse valley bogs, fossil cliffs, and swamp forests along Tiefwarensee.
The Ostufer Tiefwaren - Falkenhäger Bruch nature reserve safeguards a remarkable section of the end moraine landscape on the eastern and northern shores of Tiefwarensee. This area is critically important for conserving Cryptothallus mirabilis, a rare liverwort found here as its only known site. Beyond this unique species, the reserve protects a mosaic of valuable habitats, including ancient valley bogs, impressive fossil cliffs that reveal geological history, and dense swamp forests thriving along the city moat. These diverse environments support a rich biodiversity. The area's natural processes are largely undisturbed, allowing its unique ecosystems to flourish. A hiking trail with an Ice Age educational path in the southern part offers insights into the geological past of this fascinating landscape.
