Drömling

Drömling is a sparsely populated depression on the border of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt in Germany with an area of about 340 square kilometres (130 sq mi). The larger part belonging to Saxony-Anhalt in the east has been a nature park since 1990. The former swampland was transformed by drainage from a natural into a cultural landscape in the 18th century under the direction of Frederick the Great of Prussia. Today the depression, with its waterways, the Mittelland Canal and the rivers Aller and Ohre is a refuge for rare or endangered animal and plant species. Most of the area is now made up of nature reserves and protected areas. Nearby towns include Oebisfelde and Wolfsburg.
