The Schachenwald is a nature reserve in the Kaiserslautern district in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The approximately 64 hectare area includes parts of the towns of Hütschenhausen, Ramstein and Spesbach.
The aim of the protection is to preserve the “sand dune forests with numerous boundary lines (ecotones) as well as the alder forests to the south as biotope potential for typical and rare, wild-growing plant species and as habitats and partial habitats for rare animal species and corresponding communities”. For reasons of natural history and geography, the “dunes created by sand drifts on the red sandstone ridge” protrude about one meter above the moor.

An interesting and natural forest. The branches lie untidy between the trees. I noticed that there are a lot of birch trees growing here.
