Urwald Sababurg, Nature reserve in Reinhardswald, Germany
The 92-hectare forest contains numerous ancient oak and beech trees spread across a protected area within the Reinhardswald region of Hesse.
The forest received initial protection status as a natural monument in 1907, making it the oldest nature reserve in the state of Hesse.
The area earned the nickname 'Painters Reserve' after Theodor Rocholl, whose landscape paintings of the forest influenced many other artists.
Three circular hiking trails allow visitors to explore the forest, with parking facilities available along the K55 district road.
The reserve maintains large amounts of standing and fallen deadwood, supporting species like hermit beetles, wildcats, bats, and woodpeckers.
