The Kurler Busch nature reserve is located in the north-east of Dortmund in the district of Scharnhorst between the districts of Kurl and Husen in the south and Lanstrop in the north, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It covers an area of 197.3466 hectares, making it the largest nature reserve in Dortmund.
As the most valuable structurally rich mixed oak forest, which consists almost entirely of deciduous trees, its importance results from its relatively undisturbed location on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by agricultural areas, the low level of forest use and the relatively damp location.
Within the forest there are two small ponds, several small bodies of water and one larger body of water formed by subsidence. These provide habitat for a large population of amphibians and a gray heron colony. Several streams, most of which run in a straight line, run through the Kurler Busch. The headwaters of the Rahmsloher Bach have a broad fringe of reeds, with dead trees standing in the center of the wet meadows. This area is bordered by a wet alder forest. In the central Kurler Busch there are local locations of hornbeams and beeches, which partially merge into a millet beech forest.

Kurler Busch is beautiful. Were there in the spring. Definitely worth it in autumn too.

The special thing is that there are plenty of somewhat more challenging, natural paths - but you can always switch to the wide forest roads if you want to.
