Discover Urban Nature in Bekow
The Long Day of Urban Nature is a nationwide event format that brings people closer to nature in their immediate surroundings. In Hagenow, the second-largest town in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district, the action day takes place in the Bekow nature reserve — a natural area right on the edge of the city, which, with its meadows, waters, and a popular circular hiking trail, is one of West Mecklenburg's green treasures.
Beekeepers, Herbs, and Waters
The focus is on guided nature experiences. A beekeeper presents his equipment and leads visitors to a bee colony in Bekow — a hike of about four kilometers, during which the life of honeybees is vividly explained. On a herb walk, participants learn about local wild herbs, their identification, and uses. Water explorations make the flora and fauna of streams and ponds visible.
Participate and Experience Regional Products
At a central meeting point — the welcome plaza — the city of Hagenow and local clubs and actors present themselves with information and regional products. Among them are the school apiary of a Hagenow school, a regional farm, and the local angling club. For children, there are hands-on activities such as building nesting boxes, so that even the youngest guests can actively get to know nature.
A Day for Nature Conservation and Community
The Long Day of Urban Nature in Hagenow is not only an experience day but also a contribution to nature conservation: it makes local biodiversity visible and shows how much nature is contained within a small town. Additionally, further tours are offered in the region around the event — such as cycling tours along the Elbe, which combine nature and history of the former inner-German border area.
Day of Urban Nature — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Long Day of Urban Nature continues Hagenow's tradition of making the nature of the Bekow nature reserve an experience. Guided beekeeper tours to a bee colony, herb walks with identification of local wild plants, water explorations, and information stands by local actors at the welcome plaza are planned again. For children, hands-on activities such as building nesting boxes are planned. The exact event date and the final program overview will be announced in advance — the programs of the participating locations are traditionally published a few weeks before the action day.
