Oeffinger Scillawald, Protected area in Fellbach, Germany.
Oeffinger Scillawald is a protected forest and Schonwald on the right bank of the Neckar west of Fellbach's Oeffingen district, in the Brühl area. It is a so-called Klebwald, a wooded steep slope above the river, dominated by maples and ashes. In the herb layer, spring bloomers such as larkspur and the bluebell that gives the place its name prevail.
The Regierungspräsidium Nordwürttemberg designated the area a nature reserve by ordinance on 24 June 1972. In 1981 the Stuttgart forestry directorate made it a Schonwald (protected forest), a status renewed by a new ordinance of the Tübingen forestry directorate on 29 December 2004. The Schonwald is listed with the slightly different spelling Öffinger Scillawald.
The forest connects the communities of Oeffingen and Hofen through a walking route that locals use regularly. This pathway holds meaning for residents as a space to move through nature close to their homes.
Visitors must stay on marked pathways as off-trail walking is not permitted throughout the reserve. Camping, making fires, and collecting plants are all prohibited in this area.
The reserve is a Klebwald, a wooded steep slope on the right bank of the Neckar in the Brühl parcel. Maples and ashes dominate the canopy, while the ground layer is ruled by spring bloomers such as larkspur and the blue scilla that gives the wood its name.
