In the Tennenlohe Forest, alongside sandy areas and heathland, one also finds rare moorland areas and alder swamps. These wetlands are valuable habitats for species such as the yellow-bellied toad, natterjack toad, and various mosses and lichens.

Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses in the world, have lived in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen since 2003. Since 2012, they have been supported by Peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed. Together, they ensure that the open sandy areas of the former military training ground do not become overgrown with shrubs – an important contribution to the preservation of rare habitats and biodiversity.

A well-marked circular trail leads directly alongside the enclosure. The starting point is the Turmberg car park. Information panels along the trail provide details about the animals and the history of the nature reserve. Please stay on the marked trails – straying off them poses a life-threatening danger due to remnants of military use.

Since 2003, the last truly wild horses have lived in a large enclosure in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen. They help maintain the open sandy areas by grazing on grasses and young shrubs. A circular path leads around the enclosure – with a bit of luck, you can observe the animals from the path.

Since 2012, peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed, have been grazing alongside Przewalski's horses in the area around the former firing range "Range 6" of the former US military training area. The aim is to prevent the open sandy areas from becoming overgrown with shrubs – especially by suppressing the late-flowering bird cherry, which the goats particularly enjoy eating 🌿.
