In den Rödern bei Babenhausen, Protected area in Babenhausen, Germany

The nature reserve covers 85.68 hectares of sandy terrain, featuring sand dunes, grass fields, and scattered pine trees in the southeastern part of Babenhausen.

The area served as a military training ground from 1901 until 2007, when the US Army departed and transferred the property to German federal authorities.

Local conservation groups initiated protection measures in 1991, leading to its designation as a Natura 2000 site with combined habitat and bird protection status in 2008.

Several information panels throughout the protected area provide details about the local plant and animal species that inhabit this sandy environment.

Przewalski horses maintain the landscape through grazing, preventing vegetation growth and preserving the nutrient-poor conditions essential for rare sand-dwelling species.
