Am Ginsterpfad, Protected natural area in Cologne, Germany.
The Am Ginsterpfad nature reserve spans 21 hectares, featuring multiple ponds, steep banks covered with trees, and meadows grazed by sheep.
The area operated as a gravel extraction site during the 1950s until the 1980s, when natural rehabilitation processes transformed it into a wildlife sanctuary.
The reserve holds significance for environmental education and nature preservation, demonstrating successful land rehabilitation after industrial use in urban settings.
Visitors must stay on designated paths, keep dogs leashed, and maintain silence to protect the numerous species inhabiting the protected area.
The site serves as the northernmost habitat in North Rhine-Westphalia for green toads and provides breeding grounds for 55 bird species.
