Döberitzer Heide

The Döberitzer Heide is an approximately 5000-hectare area in the Havelland region, part of the southeastern Nauen Plateau.

This resulted in a valuable open landscape with heath, sandbanks, and dry grasslands, providing habitats for many rare animal and plant species.

The children were to be offered various educational opportunities such as a "green classroom", animal observations in the showcase enclosure, and plant studies on-site.

In 2008, straight clearings 20-50 meters wide were cut through the Döberitzer Heide to mark the boundary of the core zone.

This construction work, which involved heavy equipment, destroyed many old oaks, hill chains, and smaller biotopes that had previously been spared from military use.

The animals released in the core zone, such as red deer, wisents (European bison), and Przewalski's horses, are intended to live largely unaffected by humans.

[9] The coordination and supervision of these grazing projects are carried out by local farmers and the Nature Conservation Support Association Döberitzer Heide.

The Nature Experience Ring Zone is accessible via various hiking trails, which have been supplemented with rest and observation points.
