Finkenbachtal bei Finkenbach, Nature reserve in Hesse, Germany
The Finkenbachtal extends over 27.64 hectares, featuring naturally meandering streams, wetland meadows, and diverse riparian vegetation along the Finkenbach river.
The German government designated Finkenbachtal bei Finkenbach as a protected nature reserve in 1981, recognizing its ecological importance for the region.
The reserve bridges two administrative districts, Odenwaldkreis and Bergstrasse, representing a shared natural heritage between these German communities.
Visitors can observe various butterfly species, including the Dusky Large Blue and Scarce Large Blue, which depend on the Great Burnet plants within the meadows.
The nature reserve contains specific habitats for the European bullhead fish and brook lamprey, while the red-backed shrike finds suitable conditions in the valley meadows.
