geography

The Himmelpforter Heide extends over the area of ​​the cities of Fürstenberg / Havel (districts of Himmelpfort and Bredereiche ), Lychen (district Tangersdorf ) and Templin (district of Beutel ). It borders in the northeast on the Lychen municipal forest , in the east on the Tangersdorf meltwater channel , in the south and west on the lowlands of the Havel and in the northwest and north on the waters of Stolpsee , Haussee , Woblitz and Großem Lychensee . Naturally , it belongs to the Neustrelitz Kleinseenland in the Mecklenburg Lake District . The highest elevation is the Lindenberge with 74 m.

Flora and fauna

The natural forest communities of the Himmelpforter Heide are the beech - sessile oak forest and the blueberry - pine forest . The beech-sessile oak forest occurs today mainly along the Woblitz, often as a poorer blueberry-beech-sessile oak forest. In places there are richer training courses, for example as a woodruff beech forest on the peninsula in the Großer Lychensee. The blueberry-pine forest populates especially the dry sand locations . Near the shore and in some quarries are alder forests with Downy Birch ago.

In the Himmelpforter Heide there are moors with intermediate and raised bog vegetation in depressions without drainage . Examples are the Lange Bruch between Bredereiche and Himmelpfort, the Kiebitzbruch near Hahnshof and the Wolfsbruch south of the Stübnitzsee . A long bog channel extends south of Tangersdorf.

history

The area of ​​the Himmelpforter Heide was acquired by the Himmelpfort monastery in the 14th and 15th centuries . The forest was mainly attributable to the field marks of desolation fallen medieval villages Krams , Rudow , Stolp and Tangier village. During the Cold War , the Himmelpforter Heide had military properties belonging to the Soviet Armed Forces group in Germany : the Himmelpfort special weapons warehouse in the north, the Kannenburg shooting range in the center and the Tangersdorf military training area in the southeast .

The Himmelpforter Heide is owned, among others, by the state of Brandenburg (Landeswaldoberförsterei Steinförde ), the district of Oberhavel and the Brandenburg Natural Landscapes Foundation . On the Woblitz there is a nature conservation station for the care of injured birds of prey on the residential area of the same name . The Schleusenhof Regow residential area is located on the Havel .

The Himmelpforter Heide is located in the Uckermärkische Seen Nature Park and is partially included in the FFH area Kleine Schorfheide-Havel . In the north it is part of the Mellensee nature reserve near Lychen and in the east and south of the Kleine Schorfheide nature reserve, including several total reserves .
