Rothenberg, Nature reserve in Menden, Germany
Rothenberg is a nature reserve in Menden that extends across varied landscapes and offers several walking paths through forests and open grasslands. The terrain is diversely structured, with dense wooded sections that alternate with lighter, grass-covered areas.
The area was designated as a protected zone in 1978 to preserve natural habitats and species diversity. Later, in the early 2000s, additional regulations were introduced to strengthen its protected status.
The place reflects the region's commitment to nature protection and draws visitors who want to explore local plants and animals. Walkers encounter information signs that explain the habitats of native species.
Access to the area is via several marked entrances around Menden, and designated parking areas are available for visitors. Orientation boards show the available trails and help with planning a visit.
The area is home to plant species that grow only in this region and are managed under special conditions for scientific research. These rare specimens form an important part of scientific understanding of local ecosystems.
