The Kliekener Aue has been shaped by regularly occurring floods. Adjacent to the softwood floodplain, mainly characterized by willows directly on the Elbe riverbank, lies the higher hardwood floodplain with pedunculate oaks, ashes, field and wych elms, wild fruit shrubs, and typical native shrub species.
The varied, forest-free wet meadows provide an important habitat for birds, amphibians, and insects. Of interest is the view from the Werder observation platform onto the Old Elbe, known for its wealth of water birds. The platform can be reached via two different paths. A detailed report exists about a local EU Life project carried out from 1998 to 2002.
This project includes, among other things, the desilting of sections of the Old Elbe and the reconnection of a river loop that was cut off in the 1930s.
