The Knauheide nature reserve is located northwest of Emmerich and was placed under protection in 1977 in order to preserve the area's special floristic and hydrological conditions. Today it has a size of 30.5 hectares.

The center of the Knauheide forms a wet, small-scale structured core zone with nutrient-sensitive and extremely species-rich biotope types. It is home to a large number of plants from the base-rich flat moors and acidic heather communities. Outstanding species are overlooked orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa), sedge (Carex hostiana), bulky bulrush (Juncus squarrosus) and water feather (Hottonia palustris).

The surrounding area is formed by meadows and pastures, which, due to the relief of the ground, are present in different degrees of moisture and characteristics. Old rows of trees and single trees structure the grassland. In the north there is a contiguous forest area made up of birch-oak and alder-broken forest stands with a small proportion of coniferous wood.

The core zone of the Knauheide with its impressive biodiversity has been bought by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and placed under protection. The open land biotopes have developed under historical land use (remnants of heather, poor grass, marshy grass meadows rich in small sedge). They are dependent on nutrient-poor, wet site conditions. Regular maintenance measures are necessary in order to imitate the former use and to prevent succession (reforestation). That is why the Nature Conservation Center in the district of Kleve e.V. carries out regular maintenance cuts in cooperation with the Niederrhein Forestry Office.
