Königsdorfer Forst, Protected woodland area in Bergheim, Germany
Königsdorfer Forst is a protected woodland reserve spanning three municipalities with varied habitats including forest sections, open meadows, and wetland areas. The diverse landscape supports different plant and animal communities throughout its boundaries.
The woodland received protected status in 1989 and underwent significant expansion of its conservation area in 2004. These designations reflect a long-term commitment to safeguarding the forest's natural habitats.
The forest serves as an environmental education center where regular nature experience programs and ecological workshops take place throughout the year.
Visitors should keep dogs on leashes, stay on marked trails, and avoid collecting plants or mushrooms. Following these guidelines helps protect the sensitive ecosystems throughout the area.
Two dedicated forest wardens operate from Frechen forestry house to maintain the ecological balance and enforce conservation regulations in the reserve.
