Große Höhe, Nature reserve between Ganderkesee and Prinzhöfte, Germany.
The protected area extends over 89 hectares of inland dunes, featuring dry oak forests, sandy open ground, nutrient-poor grasslands, and heathland vegetation.
The Große Höhe received its official nature reserve designation on July 6, 2019, becoming part of the broader FFH area Delmetal between Harpstedt and Delmenhorst.
The conservation area represents a traditional Lower Saxony landscape with its characteristic mix of oak woodlands, pioneer birch forests, and open heathland formations.
The nature reserve, managed by the Oldenburg district authorities, intersects with a public road and borders a gliding airfield on its western edge.
The oak forests contain high proportions of old-growth and deadwood, supporting specialized plant communities including bilberries, wavy hair grass, and purple moor grass.
