Am hintersten Berg, Nature reserve in Hückelhoven, Germany
Am hintersten Berg is a nature reserve located between Doveren and Baal covering approximately 8.8 hectares. The woodland features dense patches of Atlantic bluebells that blanket the forest floor, particularly noticeable during the spring months.
The site received official nature reserve status in 2016, triggering enhanced conservation measures for local plant species and their habitats. This protection acknowledged the importance of the area's rare bluebell population.
The forest is locally known for its spring display of Atlantic bluebells that cover the ground in waves of color. This seasonal transformation draws people who come to experience the natural rhythm of the woodland.
The reserve features newly installed railings along main trails that make it easy to navigate while protecting sensitive plant zones from trampling. Visitors can move through the woodland without difficulty by staying on the marked paths.
The Atlantic bluebell population here is exceptionally rare within Germany and protected under strict federal conservation rules. This rarity makes the site particularly valuable for preserving this plant species.
