Eichenhain

The Eichenhain nature reserve spans 34.2 hectares between Sillenbuch district and Middle Filder Street, featuring numerous oak trees and diverse vegetation.

The area served as grazing land for centuries, with oak trees providing shade and acorns as food sources before its designation as a protected zone in 1958.

The Stuttgart Regional Council manages this conservation area, implementing specific regulations to maintain its natural character and preserve local ecosystems.

Visitors must stay on marked paths, keep dogs leashed, and refrain from activities like picnicking, with fines reaching 700 euros for regulation violations.

The reserve contains 200 monumental oak trees, with the oldest specimens reaching ages between 300 and 400 years, providing habitat for rare orchid species.
