description

The area includes the lower reaches of the Wümme from Borgfeld to the Lesum between the state border with Lower Saxony in the middle of the river and the Wümmedeich. It connects directly to the nature reserve of the same name in Lower Saxony and forms a contiguous protected area with it. South of the dike is the block land, a wetland landscape and original floodplain of the Wümme that as a conservation area has been designated a "block-country Burgdammer meadows". In the southeast it borders on the nature reserve " Westliches Hollerland (Leherfeld) ", in the east the nature reserve " Borgfelder Wümmewiesen " adjoins.

The meandering , tide affected underflow of Wümme is characterized by extensive reed fields, pastures Auwald damp Hochstaudenfluren and freshwater waddings . It is of great importance as a connecting link between the Fischerhuder and Borgfelder Wümmeniederung upstream and the Hamme Niederung to the north-west .

The Wümme is the habitat of various migratory fish . Eel , salmon and sea ​​trout are native. The river is also the habitat of sea , river and brook lamprey, as well as the mud whip . The otter is also at home here again. The extensive reed areas are the habitat of various reed breeders, including various reed warbler species. The Marsh Harrier also occurs. In the nature reserve settle u. a. Marsh marigold and marsh ragwort .

In the early 1990s, a colony of gray herons settled near the Oberneulander lock, which connects the Neue Semkenfahrt with the Wümme .

The nature reserve borders in the east on Borgfelder Allee, which connects Borgfeld with Lilienthal , and is crossed a little below Borgfelder Allee by Lilienthaler Allee as the Lilienthaler bypass road. At the same time, the route of the former Bremen – Tarmstedt small railway crosses the protected area (a cycling and hiking trail runs along it). Another road crosses the protected area southeast of Ritterhude.
