힐데너 슈타트발트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 천연기념물

The former Kesselsweier gliding airfield is located in Hilden, more precisely on the city border with Haan. It is now a nature reserve and historical monument. Gliding operations were conducted there until 2008, but then operations were discontinued because the runway was too short and expansion would have required a large number of trees. Kesselsweier is a historic estate that has existed since at least 1590. In 1927, the Hilden Gliding and Motor Flying Club was founded, which later became the Kesselsweier Hilden-Haan Nature Reserve. In 2013, the Kesselsweier Nature Reserve merged with the Erbslöh Nature Reserve in Langenfeld. Today, the area is used as pasture and is a popular meeting place for dog walkers and model aircraft enthusiasts. The city of Hilden plans to develop the area into a habitat for rare animals and plants, as it is located within a valuable nature reserve bordering two other nature reserves.

Always interesting: herons, frogs, geese and their offspring; there is always something to see.
