Buschei, Nature reserve in Brackel district, Dortmund, Germany.

This 77.4-hectare protected area features mixed forests dominated by oak and hornbeam trees, several ponds, and open meadow spaces that provide diverse habitats for wildlife.

The site served as a munitions factory during World War II and later hosted British Rhine Army facilities before being designated as a nature reserve in 2005.

Historical bunker installations and concrete structures from its military past remain integrated into the landscape, serving as reminders of the area's wartime heritage.

The reserve is reached via the concrete "Panzerstraße" built from Asselburgstraße in the early 1960s to open up the Bundeswehr firing range; despite its name, tanks never drove on it. For years the site carried a police-enforced ban on entry because of munitions remains in the forest, so stay on the paths. The old officers' horse pasture is now open grassland within the reserve.

The concrete road built from Asselburgstrasse in the early 1960s to open up the Bundeswehr firing range is still in use, yet it was never driven on by tanks despite being known as the Panzerstrasse.
