Dönche, Nature reserve in Kassel, Germany
The Dönche nature reserve spans 170 hectares of meadows, ponds, reed beds, and beech wood pastures between five districts of Kassel.
The area was first mentioned in 1368 as Tonche, and later served as military training grounds from 1870 until the German Federal Armed Forces departed.
An outdoor laboratory established in 1981 provides biology education for local schools and University of Kassel teaching students.
Three designated circular trails offer different walking experiences: Waldwege at 2.4 kilometers, Landschaftswandel at 2.3 kilometers, and Weitsicht at 5 kilometers.
Dönchebach and Krebsbach rivers intersect in this protected space, creating diverse habitats for local wildlife including hares, deer, and foxes.
