Divided between Poland and Germany on the Baltic coast, the Oder Delta is a hidden gem brimming with life. This unique region, with its rich tapestry of terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems, is one of Europe’s most exciting wild landscapes, ripe for exploration.
Imagine gliding through vast reedbeds and along tranquil waterways, spotting white-tailed eagles soaring overhead, or witnessing the return of majestic European bison and Eurasian elk as they roam freely through wild grasslands. Just a short journey from Berlin, the Oder Delta offers a rare opportunity to connect with nature like never before.
From the intricate patterns of the river delta to the open sea, this landscape is home to a fascinating array of wildlife. The Oder Delta boasts the highest breeding density of white-tailed eagles in Europe, alongside thriving populations of beavers, otters, grey seals, and even the elusive wolf. As a crucial stopover on the East Atlantic Flyway, it’s also a birdwatching paradise.
