Am Keilstein, Protected area in Regensburg, Germany.

The Keilstein nature reserve spans 45 hectares of land, featuring south-facing slopes with mixed beech forests and dry grasslands near the Danube River.

The German government established Am Keilstein as a protected area in 1939, marking the beginning of structured conservation efforts in the Regensburg region.

The reserve demonstrates the connection between Eastern European and German landscapes through plant migration patterns along the Danube Valley corridor.

Visitors can explore the reserve through marked pathways and a geo-path starting at Tegernheimer Schlucht, which presents information about geological features.

The reserve contains a geological fault line where the Bavarian Jura directly meets the crystalline basement, creating distinct environmental conditions.
