Forsthaus Prösa, Nature reserve in Brandenburg, Germany

The Forsthaus Prösa reserve spans 3,798 hectares of pine and oak mixed forests with two large heathland areas in the center of Lower Lusatia.

From 1960 to 1988, the National People's Army used sections of the forest as a military training ground, resulting in extensive landscape modifications.

The name Prösa derives from the Slavic word 'breza', meaning birch, reflecting the historical Slavic influence in the Brandenburg region.

Visitors can explore the nature reserve through six circular hiking trails ranging from 2.5 to 6.5 kilometers, starting from multiple forest parking areas.

The reserve leads a capercaillie reintroduction program since 2011, using Swedish birds to establish a new population in these extensive oak woodlands.
