The Firnhaberauheide is a nature reserve in the north of Augsburg, east of the Lech, and mainly comprises open grassland with hedge fringes and individual tree islands. It is registered under the identifier NSG-00470.01, covers an area of 15 hectares and is divided into a southern and a slightly smaller northern part by the Stuttgart – Munich motorway. The Firnhaberauheide is an important stepping stone in the Lechtal biotope network.

Right next to the A8 in the city of Augsburg is the "Firnhaberauheide" nature reserve, a small remnant of the original "Lechheide".
The globe flowers that grow there are a treasure here. Sheep keep fast-growing grasses short so that they can survive. An even greater rarity is the red-bodied grasshopper, which is otherwise extinct in the Lech valley and can only be found in the Firnhaberauheide.
