Ölbachtal mit Augustdorfer Dünenfeld, Nature reserve in Augustdorf, Germany.
The Ölbachtal with Augustdorfer Dünenfeld spans 169 hectares across Oerlinghausen and Augustdorf, featuring pine forests, heathlands, and sand dunes.
Established in 1956, this protected area contains some of Northwestern Germany's oldest inland dunes, formed during the Weichselian glaciation through wind erosion.
Educational trails throughout the reserve display information panels that explain the local ecosystem, conservation efforts, and geological formations to visitors.
The nature reserve offers marked hiking paths with downloadable GPS tracks, making it accessible for visitors to explore the diverse landscapes.
A former sand quarry, operating until 1975, has been transformed into shallow water bodies that now support numerous amphibian and insect species.
