Leiferde: Nabu - Storchencam
Leiferde is best known within Lower Saxony for the NABU Artenschutzzentrum Leiferde, a centre for wildlife rescue and conservation. The village stands in the North German Plain, amid a low agricultural landscape of fields, hedgerows and small woodland areas between Braunschweig and Gifhorn. The centre cares for injured wild animals and has given Leiferde an established role in practical species protection, particularly for birds. Open farmland, forest edges and scattered buildings shape the local setting, whose broad horizon reflects a countryside formed by farming rather than urban development. Leiferde is part of the municipality of Meinersen in the Gifhorn district.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
