Tennenloher Forst

Tennenloher Forst is a nature reserve near Erlangen covering an extensive area of sandy habitats with heathland and grassland. The site is crossed by walking paths, including a wooden boardwalk that runs through wetland sections.

The site received protected status from the German government in 1994 to safeguard its sandy ecosystems and preserve biodiversity. This designation was made to secure these sensitive habitats for future generations.

Wild Przewalski horses inhabit specific sections of the reserve, contributing to natural grazing patterns that maintain the ecological balance of the landscape.

The reserve is accessible through several entry points and offers good conditions for walking during warm and dry weather. Most paths are relatively flat, but sandy areas can become slippery after rain.

The reserve is home to Przewalski horses in designated sections that naturally shape the landscape through grazing. Freely roaming peacocks are an unexpected sight that surprises many visitors.
