Tips from the Community

Dirk Rüger
July 25, 2025, Keller Mulde Nature Reserve

In the heart of the Hochwald forest lies the 270-hectare "Keller Mulde" nature reserve, characterized by its species-rich wet meadows, fen forests, and valuable habitats. Numerous rare animal and plant species find refuge here – from butterflies and meadow birds to meadow clover and knotweed. 🪶 Tip: If you really want to experience nature, you should consciously walk slowly here. Between dragonflies, buzzing insects, and gentle meadow waves, every break feels special – a quiet gem of the region.
