Geierstal von Vielbrunn

Geierstal von Vielbrunn is a protected nature reserve near Vielbrunn that covers around 16 hectares of meadows and woodlands. The area follows the upper Ohrenbach stream as it winds through the valley with two fish ponds located in the northern section.

The area received official protection status in 2000 under the designation code 1437012. This conservation measure was an important step in safeguarding the region's natural landscape.

The protected area includes sections of the ancient Neckar-Odenwald Limes, connecting the region to Roman military history through preserved archaeological remains.

Access is provided through marked hiking trails that pass by the fish ponds and follow the natural course of the winding stream. The paths are easy to walk and allow for leisurely exploration of the natural landscape.

The reserve contains specialized black alder communities along the stream. These rare plant groupings are characteristic of wet stream valleys and provide insight into specialized ecological systems.
