March 22, 2026, Galloway Meadows in Höltigbaum

The Galloways are part of what makes Höltigbaum so charming. Isn't it lovely to drive through the self-closing gates and then come across the cattle? I remember very well that I even drove back every now and then because I was too close to the animals...

The Höltigbaum nature reserve has a turbulent history, beginning with the Weichselian glaciation, which shaped the semi-open pasture landscape. Humans, through agricultural and military use, have also had an impact on the flora and fauna.

The upper reaches generally carry very little water, here a few stones are enough to cross

The Galloway cattle, a Scottish breed, contribute to landscape conservation through their natural way of life by maintaining the open grasslands of the former military training area.

The Wandse mostly carries very little water. Small sections of the Höltigbaum (in May) are completely dried out. There is also a large wall pond with lots of water in it! Komoot tour from source to mouth. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/764195828

The detour across the pasture is definitely worth it! Watch out for the galloways - don't touch them or scare them away.
