Dörlinbacher Grund - Münstergraben

Dörlinbacher Grund - Münstergraben is a protected nature reserve in Ettenheim with meadows, ponds, and woodland areas. The landscape shifts between open grasslands and denser forest sections, crossed by small streams and natural spring sources.

The area received protected status in 2006 as part of Germany's efforts to preserve natural habitats and ecological diversity. This protection followed growing initiatives to safeguard wetland meadows and stream valley systems in the region.

The reserve serves as a teaching space where schools and nature enthusiasts observe bird species and amphibians in their natural environment. The open meadows and forest edges allow visitors to explore the diversity of insects and wild plants.

The reserve can be accessed via multiple walking trails that connect different sections, with information boards throughout. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for slippery ground, especially during wetter months.

The reserve contains old orchard groves and several natural springs, including the well-known Landelinusbrunnen. Locals and visitors are drawn to these springs for their distinctive character.
