Very nice hiking area in the triangle of the densely populated metropolitan regions of the Bergisch city triangle, Cologne and Düsseldorf. The Hildener Heide merges seamlessly into the Ohligser Heide (towards Solingen), which is also worth hiking and is even larger.

About 20% of the Hilden city forest consists of nature reserves, the entire other forest area is designated as a landscape conservation area. These are in particular the dry heathland on the Sandberg and the heathland moor in the Schönholz area. In these areas there are still many very rare plant species such as the carnivorous sundew, roe ail, bog lily and king fern as well as animal species that have become rare (including some insect species and lizards). Many of these plants and animals are on the "Red List of Threatened Species". The preservation and protection of these areas is therefore of particular importance.
