Landstuhler Bruch - Oberes Glantal, Protected landscape area in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

Landstuhler Bruch is a protected area spanning parts of Kaiserslautern and Kusel districts with wetlands, forests, and meadows. These different landscape types support various plants and wildlife throughout the seasons.

The Landstuhler Bruch was placed under landscape protection in 1987, when the districts of Kaiserslautern and Kusel designated the moor and meadow land between Landstuhl and Glan as a Landschaftsschutzgebiet. The designation followed decades in which drainage and peat cutting had shrunk the wetland; the protected status was meant to keep the remaining wet meadows and woods from further conversion.

The reserve lies in the Westpfalz region between Landstuhl and Glan, where the Landstuhler Bruch moorland meets the upper Glan valley. Local dialect names for the wet meadows and the moor ditches survive in field names, and the ponds and wet grassland are worked today for nature conservation rather than agriculture.

Several hiking trails connect different parts of the reserve for visitors to explore at their own pace. Wear sturdy shoes and bring rain gear since wetland areas can be muddy and damp even after dry weather.

The Landstuhler Bruch is a moorland that was largely drained for agriculture and peat cutting; the remaining wet hollows near the Glan hold water year-round. Visitors can spot the straight drainage ditches that cut across the meadows, a legacy of that land improvement.
