Riddagshausen, Protected area in Brunswick, Germany

The Riddagshausen nature reserve extends across 526 hectares of land, containing eleven ponds, mixed forests, and meadows in eastern Brunswick.

Cistercian monks established the pond system during the 12th and 13th centuries, creating 28 fishponds to support their monastery's activities.

The nature reserve offers guided tours and educational programs at the Haus Entenfang information center, which opened in April 2015.

Visitors can access marked trails for walking, riding, and cycling throughout the reserve while observing local wildlife and reading information boards.

Highland cattle and Icelandic ponies graze in the Weddeler Graben lowlands, maintaining natural meadow landscapes through controlled grazing.
