Harriersand
Harriersand is a river island located in the lower reaches of the Weser in Lower Saxony, Germany. Harriersand faces the town of Brake, but it has been part of the municipality of Schwanewede since 1 March 1974, following municipal reform, as it is more easily accessible from the eastern bank of the river.Photo: Wikimedia, CC BY-SA 3.0.
