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.
Visitors can access the reserve via the old tank road and designated walking paths, with parking available near the entrances and information boards throughout the area.
Former military bunkers have been converted into bat roosts, creating an unusual combination of historical preservation and wildlife conservation within the same structures.
