Große Höhe

The Große Höhe is a wooded area in the municipality of Ganderkesee near the town of Delmenhorst. The nature reserve forms the northernmost quarter of the entire forest area. Almost the entire area is a so-called “military area”. This means that military exercises (without ammunition) can be held there, during which it is forbidden to enter. If no military exercises can be detected, the area may be entered on the paths.

According to the Federal Nature Conservation Act, a nature reserve is a legally designated area in which special protection of nature and landscape is required for the conservation or restoration of ecosystems, for scientific reasons or because of their rarity, uniqueness or beauty. Actions that could lead to changes or even damage to the nature reserve are prohibited.
