Buchswald bei Grenzach

The Buchswald spreads across 92.8 hectares of land, featuring dense mixed deciduous forest with oak, beech, and lime trees throughout four separate areas.

The German government designated this area as a protected nature reserve on May 4, 1939, making it one of the earliest conservation projects in Baden-Württemberg.

The boxwood from this forest has been traditionally used to create wreaths for decorating churches and houses during local celebrations and festivities.

Multiple marked trails cross through the nature reserve, allowing visitors to explore different sections of the forest and observe the local flora.

Until 2007, this forest contained Germany's largest wild population of common box trees, reaching heights of up to four meters.
