Die Burg, Nature reserve in Marl and Recklinghausen, Germany

Die Burg extends over 146 hectares of land, featuring oak forests with dead wood sections and floodplain areas along the water bodies.

The protected area, officially established in 1983, received additional legal protection measures in 2012 to strengthen its conservation status.

An ancient Carolingian circular rampart within the protected area gives the site its name and represents regional historical fortification structures.

The nature reserve contains multiple walking paths that provide access to different sections while maintaining designated areas for wildlife protection.

The water quality of the streams supports specific fish species including brown trout and bullhead, along with riverside breeding grounds for kingfishers.
