Magical evening clouds in the spring-like Oderbruch region

by Silva Wischeropp

A warm, sunny evening light lies over the fertile meadows and fields of the Oderbruch in the district of Märkisch-Oderland. Small round arched deciduous trees and pollarded willows stand scattered in the dreamy natural landscape.
A harmonious, playful and peaceful natural motif that is very typical of the Oderbruch region. Simply a magical sight that is perfect for decorating living rooms and bedrooms.
The photo was taken with the NIKON D800 camera on 26 May 2021 in the gentle, soft and spring-like evening hours.

Isolated farmsteads, small hamlets and few people: sometimes the Oderbruch seems a little removed from the world. Perhaps that's why the area is attracting more and more people.

Here in the district of Märkisch-Oderland, you can find peace and quiet, unwind and enjoy unique landscapes. At just two to five metres above sea level, the region is the lowest-lying corner of Brandenburg. Between Oderberg and Lebus, however, the inland delta is bordered by areas up to 100 metres high. From here, excursionists have a perfect view of this fascinating region!

After being drained in the 18th century, the Oderbruch developed into one of the most interesting small landscapes in Europe. It was not for nothing that the landscape was nominated for the European Heritage Label in 2020, which was awarded in 2022.

This makes the Oderbruch the first cultural landscape to be awarded the seal of cultural heritage. Ideals and the history of the EU are symbolised here in a special way.
