Glastal, Protected landscape area in Reutlingen, Germany

The Glastal extends over 97.8 hectares through Baden-Württemberg, featuring dense forests, rock formations, and the meandering Hasenbach river throughout its terrain.

The district office of Münsingen officially designated Glastal as a protected landscape area on July 22, 1958, marking a milestone in regional conservation efforts.

The Wimsener Höhle, located in the middle section of Glastal, represents a natural monument that draws visitors interested in geological formations.

The protected area spans approximately 4 kilometers from north to south, connecting the district of Gossenzugen in Zwiefalten to the road between Hayingen and Aichstetten.

Glastal contains several wet meadows and fish ponds near Gossenzugen, while its northern section functions as a core area of the Schwäbische Alb Biosphere Reserve.
