Located between the villages of Dünstekoven and Buschhoven, this area was once used for gravel extraction. The gravel pit has since been closed. The area, which is not open to the public (!), has since become an ecologically valuable nature reserve. It is managed by the NABU Bonn district group. Once a year, there is an exceptional opportunity to enter the area and receive informative guided tours. Outside of these events, entry is prohibited!
