Enkheimer Ried, Protected natural area in Frankfurt, Germany

The Enkheimer Ried reserve contains a central pond called Riedteich that covers 4.5 hectares within its 28.23-hectare territory.

The land transformed from a swampy Main River floodplain into a collection of ponds through peat extraction activities between 1829 and 1864.

The area maintains designated pathways that allow visitors to observe rare orchid species and the European pond turtle in their natural environment.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails with GPS data available for download in GPX format to assist with navigation through the reserve.

The conservation site features numerous water bodies that formed after extensive peat extraction, creating specific conditions for endangered waterfowl species.
