NSG Nordholz

NSG Nordholz is a 25.4-hectare nature reserve in Minden, Germany, within the wider Heisterholz complex. Small ponds, swamps, ruderal grasslands and woodlands create a varied landscape for wildlife.

Oak and hornbeam forests, wet meadows and natural ponds support amphibians, dragonflies, grasshoppers, birds and plants, including the endangered great crested newt. The Biologische Station Minden-Lübbecke manages these habitats through pond creation, native planting and sustainable meadow and pasture management.

A nature trail explains the surrounding environment, while restored buildings from the former Nordholz estate provide meeting and conference rooms. The reserve also welcomes school classes and children’s groups for practical environmental learning.
