Blutwiese, Nature reserve in Löhne, Germany.

The Blutwiese nature reserve spans 26.5 hectares of land, featuring wet meadows, small woodlands, and extensive fallow areas in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The area received its name from a significant battle during the Seven Years' War in 1759, where more than 100,000 soldiers participated in combat.

The reserve contains over 100 traditional pollarded trees, which require regular maintenance and represent generations of regional agricultural practices.

The meadows remain unfertilized and mowing starts from mid-June to support plant diversity and provide habitats for butterflies and grasshoppers.

Mammoth bone fragments discovered in the area indicate the presence of these prehistoric animals approximately 37,000 years ago.
