Münsterbusch zwischen Hamm und Haumühle, Nature reserve in Stolberg, Germany
Münsterbusch zwischen Hamm und Haumühle is a nature reserve near Stolberg divided into two sections with natural watercourses, metal-enriched grasslands, and oak-hornbeam forests. The Inde River shapes the landscape and creates diverse habitats for specialized species.
The area was officially protected in 1985 and preserves the natural diversity of a former mining region. Centuries of mineral extraction left lasting marks on the landscape's composition.
The reserve contains remnants of industrial heritage, including historical waterways and structures that reflect the area's connection to metal processing and textile manufacturing.
The reserve is easily accessible from the L221 road with marked trails for nature observation. Wear sturdy footwear since the ground can become muddy after rain.
Plants here have adapted to soil with high metal content from centuries of mining in the area. These specialized species are rare and show how nature adjusts to extreme conditions.
