history

The areas were decisively shaped by the last ice age . A large dune area was created along the Elbe glacial valley , stretching from Wittenberge in the south to Boizenburg in the north over a length of about 100 km. The dune areas of the Rüterberg are part of this dune. The high water of the Elbe extends to the foot of the dune and floods the floodplains that are used as grassland.

Flora and fauna

Dry sand grassland can be found on the dune in the central part of the area. Reed areas adjoin further to the east.
