Mallertshofer Holz mit Heiden

The Mallertshofer Holz mit Heiden spans 609 hectares, featuring pine forests, heath meadows, and open gravel areas north of Munich.

The area served as a military training ground for 430 hectares until 2008, when negotiations began to transfer it to the National Natural Heritage program.

The medieval St. Martin Church from the 13th century remains as the last structure of the abandoned Mallertshofen settlement, documented since the 12th century.

Visitors must stay on designated paths and keep dogs on leashes to protect the delicate ecosystem of rare plants and animals.

Former gravel extraction site Kastner Grube has naturally transformed into diverse biotopes supporting endangered species within the protected zone.
