Kuhlenvenn, Protected area in Gescher, Germany.
The Kuhlenvenn Nature Reserve spans 67 hectares of land, featuring extensive grasslands, wetlands, and an artificial lake surrounded by observation stations.
Between 1984 and 1988, the area underwent sand extraction for the construction of the A31 highway, transforming the landscape into its current configuration.
The Biological Station Zwillbrock manages the reserve with support from NABU Coesfeld, conducting regular bird counts and maintenance operations throughout the year.
Two large observation hides at the eastern and western boundaries allow visitors to watch birds without disturbing them, connected by a footpath across the reserve.
The reserve hosts numerous water birds, waders, and meadow birds, including endangered species like the Northern Lapwing, Great Cormorant, and Little Grebe.
