Düne am Ulvenberg von Darmstadt-Eberstadt, Protected dune area in Darmstadt-Eberstadt, Germany
The Ulvenberg Dune spans 8.89 hectares and contains pine forests, steppe grasslands, and dry meadows supporting numerous plant species in southwestern Darmstadt.
The sand dune formed during the last ice age around 10,000 years ago when strong southwest winds carried calcareous sands from the Rhine and ancient Neckar riverbeds.
The name Ulvenberg stems from the old Germanic personal name Ulfo, meaning wolf, reflecting the regional naming traditions of the area.
Marked wooden paths surround the core protection zone, allowing visitors to observe the natural habitat while preserving the fragile dune environment.
The dune belongs to a 130-kilometer-long chain of inland dunes stretching from Rastatt to Mainz in the Upper Rhine Plain.
