Seckbacher Ried, Nature reserve in Frankfurt, Germany

The Seckbacher Ried spans 8.14 hectares and contains wetlands, silver willow forests, and meadows along a former arm of the Main River.

The area received protection status in 1937 when it consisted of open meadowlands with pollarded willows along the drainage ditches.

Local conservation groups conduct regular guided tours through the reserve to educate visitors about the wetland ecosystem and its inhabitants.

Visitors can reach the reserve using RMV bus line 44, stopping at Leonhardsgasse station, and observe wildlife from designated viewing platforms.

Since 1997, the meadows have been maintained by Zebu cattle, whose small hooves prevent damage to the sensitive wet grassland surfaces.
