The gnarled shapes of the old "Leitersweiler beeches" open up this nature reserve in the north on a side knoll of the Bosenberg. From the source in the forest at over 400 m, this 110 hectare nature reserve then accompanies the Tiefenbach, which runs through the forest in its natural bed, to its confluence with the Oster. This nature reserve belongs to the European nature reserve system NATURA 2000 and offers e.g. habitats for the birds in need of protection: red kite, kingfisher and black woodpecker. In the valley of the Oster, there is still something very special to see: a "human-made biotope design" planned at the beginning of the 80s, which can be considered one of the first realized facilities of this objective. The wet meadows there were in the 30s by straightening the former Meandering Easter emerged and should be drained in the 70s as part of a land consolidation. However, the resistance of the then strengthening nature conservation movement arose successfully. The meadows were not simply left to nature, but by the nature conservation authority to a pond landscape with islands, shallow water After 25 years it can be said that a considerable pioneering work on the subject of "habitat design" has been achieved, which also gained experience for other measures of water renaturation or biotope design.
