Döberitzer Heide, Nature reserve in Brandenburg, Germany.

The Döberitzer Heide encompasses 5000 hectares of heathland, wetlands, and forests, featuring sandy soils and nutrient-deficient conditions that support specific plant communities.

From 1713 to 1991, the area served as a military training ground, hosting exercises under Friedrich Wilhelm I and later becoming a base for the Red Army.

The Heinz Sielmann Foundation manages the reserve, implementing conservation programs and maintaining educational resources about local ecosystems and wildlife protection.

Visitors can explore 55 kilometers of marked hiking trails throughout the reserve, but must stay on designated paths due to remaining military materials in the ground.

The protected area maintains a population of Przewalski's horses, European bison, and red deer within a triple-fenced core zone spanning 1860 hectares.
