Aplerbecker Wald, Protected forest in Dortmund, Germany.
The Aplerbecker Wald spans 111.4 hectares of mixed forest, featuring old beech trees, dense holly bushes, and numerous small streams.
The forest represents a remaining section of the original Ardey Mountains woodland that stretched between the Emscher and Ruhr rivers 150 years ago.
The forest serves as an educational center where local communities learn about environmental conservation through guided nature programs and ecological workshops.
Several maintained hiking trails cross the forest, while the Aplerbecker Waldstrasse remains closed to through traffic to protect local amphibian populations.
The forest contains eight ponds and multiple pools that function as breeding grounds for fire salamanders, alpine newts, and various toad species.
