The Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve north-east of Berlin features a cultural landscape with about 240 lakes, thousands of moors and extensive meadows and fields. The biosphere reserve was created in 1990 and is one of the largest protected areas in Germany with 129,161 hectare (ca. 319,156 acres). It is a paradise for hikers. Extensive and interconnected circular walks lead through forests, past lakes and moors. The quiet, sparsely populated countryside provides a habitat for many animal and plant species that are threatened by extinction. The near-natural forests are breeding grounds for white-tailed eagles, ospreys, lesser spotted eagles, cranes and black storks. Beavers and Eurasian otters can be found throughout the entire reserve.
