Höltigbaum, Nature reserve in Wandsbek district, Hamburg, Germany.
Höltigbaum is a nature reserve in Hamburg featuring meadows, wetlands, and forest areas spanning approximately 765 hectares. The varied habitats provide space for numerous plants and animals within this urban setting.
The area was formerly a military training ground before being converted into a protected reserve in 1998. This transformation safeguarded essential habitats for local wildlife populations that might have otherwise been lost.
The name reflects historical land use and ownership patterns of the area. Visitors today encounter diverse habitats that attract different species and are managed through specialized grazing programs.
Multiple walking paths wind through the reserve with observation points for viewing wildlife and plants. Visitors should stick to marked trails to avoid disturbing sensitive areas.
The area is home to the Wilde Weiden program, which connects residents with nature through specialized seasonal activities. This grazing management creates dynamic landscapes that visibly shift across seasons.
