Stilleking, Nature reserve in Lüdenscheid, Germany
The Stilleking reserve spans 153 hectares of meadows and heathlands, providing a habitat for numerous endangered plant and animal species in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The area served as a military training ground in the 1930s until 1992, which prevented agricultural use and allowed the development of specific biotopes.
The Märkischer Kreis Nature Conservation Center manages the area and conducts environmental education programs from its base at the Stilleking-Oelken nature experience farm.
A 4.5-mile hiking trail with an elevation gain of 964 feet crosses through the reserve, offering visitors opportunities to observe the local ecosystems.
Approximately 40 Heck cattle graze on 60 hectares of the reserve, acting as natural landscapers to maintain the open grassland structure.
