Märzenbecherwald bei Ettenstadt, Nature reserve in Ettenstatt, Germany.
The Märzenbecherwald covers 11.82 hectares of protected woodland along the slopes of the Franconian Jura, featuring numerous natural springs and moist soil conditions.
The area received official protection status in 1988, establishing specific regulations to preserve its natural characteristics and protect the spring snowflake populations.
The spring snowflake flower holds such significance in the local heritage that it appears on the official coat of arms of Ettenstatt municipality.
Visitors can access the reserve through walking paths from late February to early April when the spring snowflakes create a white carpet across the forest floor.
The forest contains the largest concentration of spring snowflakes in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, growing naturally in the moor-like soil conditions.
