Tips from the Community
a beautiful floodplain and biotope
0

The Luderbachaue nature reserve in Dreieich, with an area of around 300 hectares, is one of the most important protected areas in the Offenbach district. It extends along the Luderbach stream, which gives it its name, and as an FFH area, it forms a valuable mosaic of near-natural oak-beech forests, moist floodplain meadows, and still waters. The ecological significance lies primarily in the protection of rare species: the area provides habitat for the protected stag beetle, the green broom moss, as well as numerous endangered bird and amphibian species. For visitors, the floodplain is an important local recreation area with a well-developed network of paths. Popular destinations in the immediate vicinity include Hayn Castle in Dreieichenhain and the modern land art installation, the Stangenpyramide. To avoid endangering the sensitive flora and fauna, a strict path requirement applies throughout the entire area, as well as a leash requirement for dogs.
