Am Hornpottweg, Protected nature reserve in Dünnwald, Cologne, Germany.
The reserve spans 41 hectares of marshland and forest trails, providing habitats for 69 bird species including nuthatches, woodpeckers, and herons.
Originally a gravel pit, this nature reserve received official protected status in 1989 and gained formal recognition as a Naturschutzgebiet in 1991.
Local residents regularly visit the nature reserve for nature observation, education about regional ecosystems, and peaceful walks through native landscapes.
A walking trail circles the former gravel pit, taking 30 minutes to complete, and underground line 4 from Appellhofplatz reaches the location in 42 minutes.
Water buffalo and Galloway cattle maintain the marshland ecosystem through natural grazing, supporting the preservation of local flora and fauna.
