The Kaltenkirchener Heide is a former military training area of the German armed forces, which was declared an FFH area (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Area) together with the "Heidkaten Heide" after it was abandoned for military use in 2008.
Since then, a natural paradise for rare and / or threatened plants and animals has developed.
In June 2015, the Kaltenkirchener Heide with approx. 460 hectares was also declared a national natural heritage, which covers approx. 186,000 hectares nationwide.
These are nationally significant forest and open land areas with a high level of biological diversity from federal assets, which are developed and maintained for future generations.
In the FFH area, there are forests, rare dry and poor grasslands, heaths and grasslands.
The open habitats in particular are home to highly specialized flora and fauna. These include up to 20 plant species on Schleswig-Holstein's Red List.
