Herrenholz, Protected area in Goldenstedt and Visbek, Germany.
The Herrenholz nature reserve spans 700 hectares between Goldenstedt and Visbek, featuring oak-hornbeam forests, wetland areas, and alder riparian forests.
The forest received its first documented mention in 819 under the name 'Fürstliches Gehölz auf Hollwedehusen' through a protection letter from Emperor Ludwig the Pious.
The forest area maintains its historical connection to nobility through centuries of hunting and timber harvesting traditions, reflected in its current name Herrenholz.
Visitors can access multiple walking paths throughout the reserve, with the main information point located at Wildapfelweg in Goldenstedt for inquiries and guided tours.
Within the reserve stands a notable oak tree, the Königseiche, which measured 4 meters in diameter during its final recorded measurement.
