The Elbe-Tideauenzentrum (enter for Tidal Floodplains along the River Elbe) is the only information center on freshwater tidal floodplains in Hamburg. Freshwater tidal floodplains are a habitat which is unique in Europe. With mostly self-built exhibits on the subject of local nature and its plants and animals, the exhibition offers insights into these special features and encourages hands-on exploration and discovery.
