Pestruper Gräberfeld und Rosengarten, Protected area and Bronze Age cemetery in Wildeshausen, Germany.
The nature reserve spans 39 hectares, featuring extensive moorland vegetation and distinct burial mounds spread across the landscape near Wildeshausen.
The area received its first conservation status in 1938, while initial protection efforts date back to 1819 when local authorities recognized its archaeological value.
