Oranienbaumer Heide, Nature reserve near Dessau-Roßlau, Germany
The Oranienbaumer Heide spans 2,683 hectares of diverse landscapes, including deciduous mixed forests, floodplain woodlands, and dry grasslands in Saxony-Anhalt.
The area received official protection status in 2014, replacing the previously designated Middle Oranienbaumer Heide reserve established in 1998.
The reserve serves as an educational center with a 13-station nature trail where visitors learn about local ecosystems and conservation methods.
Heck cattle and Konik horses maintain the landscape through controlled grazing, preventing excessive growth of woody vegetation throughout the protected area.
A section of 478 hectares within the reserve functions as a total sanctuary, dedicated to undisturbed natural development under supervision of Anhalt University.
