Fleuthkuhlen, Nature reserve between Geldern and Issum, Germany.

The Fleuthkuhlen protected area spans 588 hectares of lowlands containing 53 shallow water bodies surrounded by reed beds and willow thickets.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, local peat extraction activities created numerous depressions that filled with groundwater, forming the current pond system.

The North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation acquired 147 hectares of the reserve to ensure permanent protection of this ecological landscape for future generations.

The NABU Nature Conservation Center Gelderland manages the entire protected area and provides detailed information brochures with trail maps for visitors.

The reserve houses 300 flowering plants, 30 dragonfly species, 11 bat species, and serves as a nesting ground for 85 bird species including the rare water rail.
