Exerzierplatz, Nature reserve in Erlangen, Germany
The protected area spans 25 hectares of land, featuring sandy soil conditions that support specialized plant species adapted to nutrient-poor environments.
The territory transformed from a military training ground used by the Royal Bavarian Infantry Regiment between 1890 and 1894 to a protected nature reserve in 2001.
The reserve functions as an educational site where students and researchers study the interactions between 380 plant species, 172 beetle species, and 40 bird species.
Visitors must keep dogs on leashes and respect access restrictions to inner areas from March 15 to July 31 to protect ground-nesting birds.
The reserve includes seasonal ponds that provide breeding grounds for the European Green Toad, with special fences installed along roads to protect their migration paths.
