Description & Map
Summary
Neben dem Mühlenberger Loch ist der Holzhafen das wichtigste Rastgebiet für Zugvogelarten wie Löffelente, Krickente und Brandgans in Hamburg.
Description
The protected area also includes a tidal foreshore, created in 2008 by removing a dyke as a nature conservation measure. This extension to the Holzhafen covers approximately 20 hectares. This area is home to a species community that has adapted to the tidal cycle. Plant species found here include the narrow-leaved water plantain, the eastern marsh ragwort and Oenanthe conioides, all of which are threatened with extinction in Hamburg. The Holzhafen also plays an important role as a feeding, spawning and nursery ground for fish.
