Jakobsberg, Nature reserve in Steinhagen, Germany.
Description
Jakobsberg is a protected nature reserve near Steinhagen that features oak and hornbeam trees with a forest floor carpeted by millions of liverwort plants. The delicate pink flowers emerge in the early spring weeks and create a striking natural display across the woodland.
History
The area received protection status in 1941 and an updated classification in 2008. These designations ensure the woodland and its rare plant diversity remain safeguarded for future generations.
Culture
Local guides conduct botanical walks through the reserve during the flowering season, sharing knowledge about the native liverwort plants.
Practical
A marked loop trail of about 4 kilometers guides visitors through the area, accessible from the Friedrichshöhe restaurant. Dogs must remain leashed, and spring offers the best conditions for exploring when the flowers are most visible.
Did you know?
The area is called 'Leberblümchenberg' by locals, a name that directly refers to the exceptional density of liverwort plants here. This local nickname reflects how completely these small flowers dominate the forest experience in spring.
