Heipker See, Protected nature reserve in Leopoldshöhe, Germany

The Heipker See encompasses a freshwater lake, adjacent creek with floodplain forest, and wet fallow land across half a square kilometer.

The nature reserve received its protected status in 1991 and gained additional conservation measures in 2001 to safeguard local biodiversity.

Local environmental organizations conduct systematic bird observations, documenting 46 breeding species, including four listed in North Rhine-Westphalia's endangered species register.

Green triangular signs featuring sea eagles mark the paths leading to the reserve, which maintains restricted access to protect vegetation from damage.

A hybrid woodpecker, classified as both green and grey woodpecker, was first documented in the Lippe region at this location.
