NSG Kohbrink
NSG Kohbrink is a nature reserve between Minden and Petershagen in North Rhine-Westphalia, covering about 86 hectares. Within the Heisterholz forest complex, old oak woods grow on sandy soils alongside pedunculate oak and hornbeam forests.
Alder swamp woods, ash-alder forests, springs, reed beds and sedge meadows create varied habitats across the reserve. These environments shelter middle spotted woodpeckers, black woodpeckers and great crested newts, while the wider Heisterholz area forms part of a Flora-Fauna-Habitat conservation network.
The great crested newt depends on old woodland and well-vegetated ponds or small lakes for breeding. Nearby reserves such as Nordholz complement these aquatic habitats, while native reforestation, new ponds, wetlands and carefully managed meadows support the landscape’s biodiversity.
