Hülsenhaine im Schellenberger Wald, Protected forest area in Essen, Germany
The Hülsenhaine im Schellenberger Wald spans 47.5 hectares of mixed beech and oak forest, featuring steep northern slopes and residential areas to the south.
The nature reserve received its protected status in 1939, establishing a sanctuary for local flora and fauna in the industrial region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The forest contains remnants of the former noble estate Schellenberg, including walking paths that connect to the regional Ruhr Heights Trail system.
Multiple walking trails cross through the reserve, with the main entrance located near the Carl Funke parking area by Lake Baldeney.
The forest maintains an exceptionally high concentration of holly trees, which thrive in the mild microclimate of this protected ecosystem.
