Oftersheimer Dünen, Nature reserve in Oftersheim, Germany

The Oftersheimer Dünen consists of four separate protected areas covering 48 hectares of inland dunes with sandy grasslands and pine-oak forests.

The protection of this area began in 1952 as a landscape conservation zone, and in 1992 it received the status of an official nature reserve.

The Dunes Classroom Project, established in 2015, provides local schools and kindergartens with direct access to nature education programs.

The nature trail spans 3.1 kilometers through the dunes, starting at the dog sports club parking lot on Oberfeldweg, with nine information boards along the route.

The Feldherrenhügel, at 121 meters, stands as the highest inland dune formation in Baden-Württemberg, rising 21 meters above the Rhine plain.
