The Brinksknapp nature reserve lies south of Scharpenberg in the Haard. The area around the former blast crater with its wet meadows and pond is now one of the last intact raised bogs. The shallow water is an important spawning ground for various amphibian and dragonfly species. The nature reserve is best reached from the Haardgrenzweg hiking car park.

Beautiful hiking trails and nature.
