Trail Kapenniederung 4 km

Auenpfad Kapenniederung 4 km (Vanessa Wilke)

Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve Administration

The area surrounding the Auenhaus information center is so diverse that there is space and content for several floodplain paths here. The fruit educational path gives an overview of 70 different types and varieties of fruit, wild fruit and orchards. Orchards are a cultural asset with high landscape aesthetic and ecological value.

What does wood sound like? How old is the tree? The Kapenniederung floodplain path connects the Auenhaus with the fruit educational path and the beaver territories on site in an original way. This can also be explored digitally with an Actionbound on mobile devices.

Along the floodplain path you can stop off at the Auenhaus information center and its designed outdoor area, among other places. A look at the new exhibition in the Auenhaus is always worthwhile.

There is a small blind educational path in Braille at the Auenhaus especially for visitors with visual impairments. From woodpecker burrows to animal tracks, everything is presented in a tactile manner.
