Westliche Hainleite, Nature reserve in Thuringia, Germany.
The Westliche Hainleite extends across 941 hectares of land between Hainrode and Großlohra, featuring diverse ecological zones and native wildlife habitats.
The German government established this protected area in 2004 as part of a national initiative to preserve natural spaces and maintain ecological balance.
DBU Naturerbe manages this reserve according to IUCN category IV standards, focusing on protecting specific habitats while allowing educational activities.
Multiple hiking trails traverse the reserve, connecting notable points such as Der Berg at 451 meters and Steckenberg at 424 meters above sea level.
The reserve contains several water sources formed by erosion at its edge, including Renkgraben near Friedrichslohra and Hainröder Bach streams.
