Schwerter Wald, Protected forest in Schwerte, Germany.
The forest extends between Schwerte and Dortmund cities, covering a length of 3.6 kilometers from northeast to southwest with a maximum width of 2 kilometers.
The forest gained additional visitors after 1899 when the Hörder district railway opened a tram line, which operated until April 1, 1971.

Access to the forest trail is available through Hörder Straße 131 in Schwerte, with bus line 430 providing public transportation service.
