NSG Schmiedebruch
The NSG Schmiedebruch is a nature reserve north of Wasserstraße in Petershagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Reed beds, sedge meadows and alder swamp forests shape the Weser lowlands around it.
To the south, the Bollsee preserves a remnant oxbow lake of the Weser. Two small streams, the Rottbach and Renngraben, cross the wet landscape. Renngraben also marks the border with Lower Saxony, where a second Schmiedebruch reserve adjoins the area. Pastures, meadows, small waters and fallow land extend northward.
These wetlands provide stopover, feeding and breeding habitat for rare water, meadow and songbirds. Little grebes and reed warblers belong among the Red List birds found here. Amphibians, dragonflies, insects and endangered plants add further life to this protected mosaic.
