Mattheiser Wald

Mattheiser Wald is a protected nature reserve and European Fauna-Flora-Habitat (FFH) site located in the southeastern part of the city of Trier in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It encompasses roughly 447 hectares of forest, valley slopes, and old meadows that were closed to the public for about six decades because the area was used as a military training ground. The reserve is dominated by a large, old-growth oak and hornbeam mixed forest with rich deadwood, interlaced with the valley of the Aulbach stream and the slopes running down to the Kandelbach. Long military use left behind compacted soils, open clearings, ponds, and other disturbance features that now create a mosaic of habitats supporting rare plants, amphibians, bats, and woodland birds. Because it sits directly within the city limits, Mattheiser Wald plays a dual role as both a Natura 2000 conservation area and a much-used local recreational landscape. It is one of the most significant urban nature reserves in the Trier region.
