Griesheimer Düne und Eichwäldchen, Protected dune and oak forest area in Darmstadt, Germany.
The protected area spans 46 hectares, featuring inland dunes with calcareous sand deposits and small oak woodlands near urban settlements.
The dunes formed during the last Ice Age through wind-blown sand deposits, and the area received official protection status in 1982.
Local residents participate in conservation efforts through educational programs and guided nature walks focusing on the dune ecosystem.
Marked paths allow visitors to explore the protected zone while maintaining distance from sensitive plant species and nesting areas.
The site contains continental calcareous steppe grasslands that support specific orchid species and rare insects like Euplagia quadripunctaria.
