Nature reserve

You almost get the impression of being in a dune landscape near the sea. And this isn't surprising, because in prehistoric times, this area was indeed covered by the sea. With a bit of luck, you might even find marine fossils here. 🍀🍀🍀

A very idyllic setting

Through open terrain dotted with gnarled oaks and pines, we reach the Seven Ponds, which are arranged in a cascade. Benches invite you to linger here.

Trainee forester Mareike Alicke and trainee forester Maurice Bodin, together with forestry master Florian Paulus, built this giant bench (September 2022).

The "Mainzer Sand II" nature reserve was established in March 1997. Brief description: Calcareous sand area with open calcareous sand plains, dunes, pioneer sand vegetation, sandy heaths, fallow land, orchards, isolated trees, and old and dead wood; The Mainzer Sand landscape originated approximately 10,000 years ago and is therefore relatively young. Dunes formed from the windblown sand blown from the gravelly riverbed of the Rhine. The establishment of trees and shrubs stabilized these dunes, essentially completing their formation. The resulting landscape is very rare, as it consists of inland dunes.

The special vegetation on the sandy soil has its own fascinating flair.

Nice little path especially in autumn 🍂
