Rüstjer Forst

The Rüstjer Forst spans 2,098 hectares of land, featuring coniferous trees in the central region and deciduous forests in the western and eastern sections.

The forest emerged during the 19th century, transforming from a heathland intersected by small moors into the current woodland landscape.

The forest represents the environmental preservation values of Lower Saxony, maintaining natural habitats while accommodating agricultural activities in surrounding fields.

Visitors can access numerous walking paths throughout the protected area, which extends across the municipalities of Deinste, Dollern, Horneburg, Harsefeld, and Stade.

The forest contains a network of small moors and agricultural lands divided by wooden structures, creating a varied landscape under protection since 1973.
