Zarth

The Zarth reserve extends across 259 hectares of protected land within Brandenburg, featuring diverse ecosystems and natural habitats for local wildlife species.

The designation of Zarth as a protected area occurred on June 26, 1978, following the transformation of former peat mining grounds into a conservation zone.

The reserve functions under Germany's Federal Nature Conservation Act, representing the national commitment to environmental protection and sustainable land management.

Multiple hiking trails navigate through the reserve, including a 5.7-kilometer loop path that leads visitors to an ancient oak tree monument.

During specific weather conditions, particularly after heavy rainfall, hundreds of small frogs emerge simultaneously throughout the protected grounds.
