Discover the Biosphere Centre Amt Neuhaus, where nature, history and rare breeds bring the Elbe floodplain landscape vividly to life [1].
The Biosphere Centre Amt Neuhaus in Konau is the perfect gateway to discovering the unique beauty and biodiversity of the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve. As the official information centre of the reserve, it offers an engaging insight into the natural and cultural heritage of this extraordinary river landscape. The permanent exhibition “Lust auf Vielfalt” (Desire for Diversity) invites visitors to explore the fascinating world of rare livestock breeds, traditional crops, and the people dedicated to preserving them. Seventeen interactive displays present the Arche Region’s farms and projects, highlighting the close connection between human activity and the natural environment. A virtual reality experience lets guests immerse themselves in the stunning scenery and wildlife of the Elbe landscape. The centre also serves as the starting point for excursions and educational activities, including the Junior Ranger programme, making it an inspiring place for all ages. Whether on a family outing, a group visit or an individual exploration, the Biosphere Centre Amt Neuhaus combines education, nature, and regional culture in a way that leaves lasting impressions of life along one of Germany’s most beautiful river landscapes [1].
