Scheftheimer Wiesen bei Darmstadt, Natural reserve in Darmstadt, Germany

Covering 166 hectares, Scheftheimer Wiesen features meadows and wetlands alongside the Ruthsenbach water body in eastern Darmstadt.

The establishment of this protected area occurred in 1985, with additional conservation measures implemented through formal recognition in 1993.

The southeastern section contains a megalithic site comprising 14 granite blocks, with burial mounds nearby representing regional archaeological heritage.

Multiple marked trails traverse the reserve, allowing visitors to explore different sections while maintaining designated paths for environmental protection.

The land previously served hunting grounds for the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt during the 16th and 17th centuries before transforming into protected wetland habitats.
