Geisterholz, Nature preserve in Ennigerloh and Oelde, Germany
The Geisterholz protected area spans 299 hectares of forest land between the towns of Ennigerloh and Oelde in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The German government established Geisterholz as a protected nature reserve in 2003 to safeguard its ecological systems and combat environmental degradation.
Local communities maintain walking paths through ancient oak-hornbeam forests that have existed in this region for more than 170 years.
Visitors can access the reserve via Landesstraße L792 on the southern edge or Landesstraße L793 on the northeastern border throughout the year.
The reserve contains numerous drainage ditches that underwent closure to improve water regulation and support the forest's natural ecosystem.
