Welcome to the information center for the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve! Here you can experience beavers and Elbe fish live and discover the bird and water world of the Elbe floodplain. Biosphere reserves have a lot of experiences to offer. Discover the diversity of the "Niedersächsische Elbtalaue" biosphere reserve here in the information center in our new biosphere room: the cinema room and the "Biosphere Quiz 1, 2 or 3" are just two of the various attractions in an area of over 60 square meters. Visitors - young people and adults alike - can discover the special features of the region at various media stations. An ideal starting point for your tour of the Elbe floodplain! Of course, if you are in the right place at the right time, you can also observe beavers outside in the Elbe floodplain. However, in line with our approach as an information center for the biosphere reserve, which is to provide a "closer" look at the Elbe floodplain, you can experience the European beaver live with us! Here you can observe the beavers - depending on the time of day and the activity of the animals - outside in a spacious and species-appropriate beaver enclosure or in their beaver lodge. In the impressive aquarium landscape with its eight tanks and a total capacity of 70,000 liters, you can experience Elbe fish from eel to zander up close.

Biosphaerium Elbtalaue Bleckede - Information center for the biosphere reserve

The Elbtalaue Biosphaerium in Bleckede is the official information center for the Lower Saxony Elbtalaue Biosphere Reserve. Interactive media stations, a cinema room and the entertaining "Biosphere Quiz 1, 2 or 3" await visitors of all ages on around 60 square meters in the new biosphere room. Anyone who loves nature in northern Germany - whether on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or inland - will find a rewarding insight into one of the most species-rich river landscapes in Germany.

Watch beavers and Elbe fish live

A particular highlight is the spacious beaver enclosure, where European beavers are kept in a species-appropriate environment. Depending on the time of day, the animals can be observed outside or in their beaver lodge. In the impressive aquarium landscape with eight tanks and a total capacity of 70,000 liters, visitors can get up close and personal with native Elbe fish - from eels to zander.

Ideal starting point for tours in the Elbe floodplain

The Biosphaerium is the perfect starting point for exploring the Elbe floodplain on your own. Anyone exploring the natural areas of northern Germany anyway - such as the coastal landscapes around Rügen, Fischland-Darß-Zingst or the surroundings of Rostock and Wismar - can easily plan Bleckede as a stopover on a round trip through the north.
