Grävingholz, Protected forest area in northern Dortmund, Germany.
The Grävingholz reserve spans 123.7 hectares west of Federal Highway 54, featuring dense forests of beech, oak, and ash trees.
The forest emerged after the last ice age and served as hunting grounds for the counts of Dortmund during medieval times.
The protected zone represents one of 35 nature reserves in Dortmund, contributing to the city's commitment to environmental preservation.
Visitors can access the area through the Grävingholz station on the U41 subway line, with paths available for hiking and cycling.
Former World War II bomb craters within the forest have transformed into wetland biotopes, supporting rare plant species and amphibian populations.
