Brandberge, Nature reserve in Halle (Saale), Germany.

The Brandberge spans 90 hectares of protected land, featuring porphyry hillocks, flat regions near the Saale River, and early Tertiary kaolin deposits.

The area contains archaeological findings from Celtic Corded Ware and La Tène cultures, followed by Germanic settlements and later military usage until 2007.

The site includes diverse habitats supporting four protected species under Nature Directives, including the Crested newt and Barbastelle bat populations.

Visitors can access an interactive map system to explore the various natural zones, including European dry heaths and lowland hay meadows throughout the reserve.

The location contains remnants of a Nazi-era amphitheater, designed by Ludwig Moshamer, which could accommodate 5,050 spectators during its operational period.
