The freely accessible, 2-hectare orchard next to Haseldorf Harbour is home to 180 historic varieties of fruit, including “Schöner aus Haseldorf”, “Seestermüher Zitronenapfel” and “Ananas Renette”. During the harvest season, visitors may sample the fruit.

Nature

The Haseldorf Marsh lies between the Pinnau and the Elbe and includes the Haseldorfer Binnenelbe with Elbe Foreland nature reserve, a tidal, diked river landscape. The nature reserve is home to a diverse range of animal and plant life. Up to 300 breeding pairs each of grey herons and cormorants breed in the Haseldorf Marsh. Birdwatching in the Haseldorf Marsh offers the opportunity to observe rare species.

The exhibition at the Elbmarschenhaus and the 7,000-square-metre outdoor area, a freely accessible nature experience site, allow visitors to explore the natural and cultural landscape of the marshes. The NABU Nature Centre in Haseldorf Scholenfleth provides information about the habitats and the animal and plant life of the nature reserve. The facilities include an insect hotel, a butterfly garden, a herb garden, an orchard meadow with raised beds, and a willow tipi with a tunnel. The NABU Nature Centre offers talks and guided tours for groups.

Trails

The Haseldorf area offers nature-oriented visitors trails for hiking and cycling. From Haseldorf Harbour, cyclists can follow the dyke route via Hetlinger Schanze and Fährmannssand.

Gutspark Haseldorf is freely accessible year-round; the buildings and the garden beside the house are private. The trees and ditches in Gutspark Haseldorf provide a habitat for many birds and other animals. A historic lime tree avenue leads through Gutspark Haseldorf to the manor house.
