Stork village Wahrenberg

In late summer, around 80 adult and young storks populate the extensive floodplain landscapes around the village on the Elbe. This makes Wahrenberg the village with the second-highest stork population in Germany. There are more than 20 nests in the immediate vicinity of the village. As a result, there is about one stork for every four inhabitants in midsummer. The storks are beloved "roommates" of the people of Wahrenberg - and a lot is done for them. Among other things, silted-up bodies of water and overgrown wet meadows have been restored around the village to create an ideal food supply. Nesting aids are being installed and stork enthusiasts are helping to prepare the breeding sites for the summer guests. As the storks rebuild their nests from the previous year year after year, a considerable amount of material is piled up over time - up to two tons of nesting material is not uncommon.

The floodplain trail through the village and the surrounding river landscape also features numerous information boards highlighting the village and landscape features, including the Elbe beaver and the frog paradise.
