Gohrischheide und Elbniederterrasse Zeithain, Protected area in Sachsen, Germany

The nature reserve spans 2,847 hectares across three municipalities, featuring a combination of heathlands, inland dunes, and open grassland near the Elbe River.

The Gohrischheide und Elbniederterrasse Zeithain received its protected status in 2011 through a regulation issued by the Meissen district administration office.

The area provides educational opportunities through marked paths and a wooden observation tower built in 2014 to facilitate public access to nature.

Visitors can explore the reserve through designated trails while following conservation guidelines to maintain the ecological balance of this IUCN category IV protected area.

In June 2022, the reserve experienced the largest wildfire in Saxony in 30 years, affecting 900 hectares and causing damages estimated at 13.5 million euros.
