Buchenwälder im Rosengarten

The reserve spans 285 hectares of European beech forests across rolling end moraine ridges in the Hamburg Hills, south of Hamburg.

The protected area was established on December 2, 2003, under the management of Landkreis Harburg to preserve one of northern Germany's largest beech forest complexes.

The protected woodland forms part of the Rosengarten-Kiekeberg-Stuvenwald landscape conservation area, integrating local environmental preservation with regional heritage.

Walking paths throughout the nature reserve allow visitors to explore the forest ecosystem while following specific guidelines to maintain the area's ecological balance.

The protected area contains an exceptionally high proportion of old-growth and dead wood, creating specialized habitats within the lowland forest system.
