Oberes Selketal, Nature reserve in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The Oberes Selketal reserve spans 1,611 hectares across multiple municipalities, featuring diverse habitats along the Selke River in the Harz Mountains region.
The German government established this protected area in 1998 as part of a broader initiative to preserve natural landscapes in Saxony-Anhalt.
The Köthener Hütte, constructed to mirror a small church design, stands as a central meeting point for visitors exploring the reserve's natural environment.
The reserve maintains numerous marked trails connecting Ballenstedt, Falkenstein, Harzgerode, and other towns, allowing visitors to explore the complete ecosystem.
A ten-meter-long Pioneer Tunnel cuts through rocky formations, offering passage through geological structures that reveal the region's mineral composition.
