Fürstenkuhle, Nature reserve in Gescher, Germany.
The protected area extends over 99 hectares of land, containing wetlands, meadows, and forests that support regional plant and animal species.
The reserve received its protected status in 1942 and underwent a significant redesignation in 2004 to strengthen conservation measures.
The name Fürstenkuhle originates from the Low German term 'Voskenkuhle,' meaning fox hole, reflecting the regional linguistic heritage.

The reserve hosts approximately 3,000 adult Moor frogs during mating season, making it an essential habitat for this amphibian species.
