Wildweiberhäuschen, Protected area in Haiger, Germany

The Wildweiberhäuschen nature reserve contains natural creek meadows, flower-rich tall herb communities, maple forests, ash trees, and alder woods near Langenaubach.

The limestone rock formation dates back 360 million years to an ancient sea, containing caves with paleontological discoveries including cave bear and reindeer remains.

The name translates to 'wild women's house' in German, referring to local folklore connected to the natural limestone formations in this protected area.

The nature reserve spans 22.97 hectares along the southern edge of Langenaubach, bordered by Aubach creek and the K41 road between Langenaubach and Breitscheid.

The location serves as winter quarters for multiple bat species and houses rare plants including globeflowers, orchids, columbines, and alpine woundwort.
