Sandgrube im Jagen 86 des Grunewaldes

The reserve spans 13 hectares and contains deep sand pits reaching 25 meters, creating varied habitats with shallow water bodies and willow thickets.

From 1966 to 1983, this site operated as an industrial sand pit, extracting 3.5 million cubic meters of fine sand for construction purposes.

The reserve supports environmental education through three interpretive panels that detail information about the sand pit, wetland areas, and local fauna.

Visitors can access the reserve through three paved entrances, including two ramps and a northeastern staircase with 134 steps.

The site houses over 300 species of ferns and flowering plants, with specific zones dedicated to ground-nesting bees and wasps protection.
