Naturwald Kleinengelein, Protected ancient forest in Steigerwald, Germany.
This 53-hectare forest reserve contains Germany's oldest beech tree population, with specimens dating back to the 17th century.
The forest area, first documented in 1023, belonged to the Diocese of Würzburg and transformed from mismanaged woodland into protected status by 2010.
The forest reserve represents the evolution of German forest management practices from medieval exploitation to modern conservation principles.
Located between Rauhenebrach and Michelau villages, the forest provides research opportunities for scientists studying natural forest development.
The forest hosts four species of flycatcher birds simultaneously: Red-breasted, Collared, Pied, and Spotted Flycatchers.
