Heilige Hallen, Nature reserve in Sebnitz, Germany.

The Heilige Hallen nature reserve extends over 32.78 hectares of protected land at the northern edge of Saxon Switzerland, transitioning into the Lusatian Highlands.

The German authorities designated this area as a protected nature reserve in 1961, following an initial conservation status granted in 1958.

The upper section contains the Taufstein, a granite stone that served as a refuge site during the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century.

The reserve maintains an average annual temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and features numerous hiking paths through beech forest areas.

The area hosts 24 breeding bird species, including stock doves, tawny owls, and black woodpeckers, along with bat populations of greater mouse-eared and Bechstein's bats.
