The juniper nature reserve "Geisert" is approx. 20 minutes' walk southwest of the town center, on the southern slope of a flood valley to the Grundbach. The Celtic circular path leads along here.
The Wacholderheide has been a nature reserve (NSG) since March 19, 1962 and has been under intensive biotope care since 1991 by Gerd Ostermann, graduate agricultural engineer, from Birgel. The development goal is: "Preservation of a juniper heather on a silicate subsoil (here winged gorse grows as a Kennart) as a relic of historical land use forms."

The NSG juniper area near Demerath, together with the area "Geisert near Demerath", is the relic of an originally widespread landscape form in the Demerath and surrounding area. And because this is so important, trees and bushes were thinned out there and the resumption of sheep and goat grazing was promoted. This means that the juniper heather is kept open and the typical heather vegetation such as bristle grass and heather can recover and expand.
