Disibodenberg

Disibodenberg, a nature reserve in Rheinland-Pfalz, protects a unique forest, the ancient Disiboduseiche oak, and the natural setting of the historic Klosterruine.

Disibodenberg, a designated nature reserve in Rheinland-Pfalz since 1955, protects a unique and valuable forest ecosystem on the Disibodenberg hill. This special area is home to the venerable Disiboduseiche, a protected natural monument that stands as a testament to the region's ancient woodlands. The reserve also encompasses the historic Klosterruine Disibodenberg, where the natural vegetation has integrated with the medieval structures, creating a distinctive landscape. The primary purpose of this protection is to preserve the integrity of the forest, ensure the continued existence of the Disiboduseiche, and safeguard the natural environment surrounding the significant cultural heritage of the monastery ruins, including its particular flora.
