A small climb in the forest, but the surroundings are beautiful. There is also a modern training element on the fitness trail.

The Hilden city forest used to be interspersed with larger heath areas, which have now largely disappeared for many decades due to reforestation. Scattered in the city forest are the smaller nature reserves "Hildener Heide - east of Taubenberg", "Hildener Stadtwald - Sandbach Krebsbach area" and "Hildener Stadtwald - Biesenbach area“. The nature reserve, about half a hectare in size, east of the Taubenberg is home to an excellently developed heathland. The carnivorous sundew, the beak reed, the bell heather, the bog lily, the gagelbush and the short-winged bush cricket are at home here. South adjoining there is a downy birch swamp forest, in the wettest places of which even downy birch can hardly grow. A few specimens of narrow-leaved cotton grass can still be found here. ..." https://www.kuladig.de/Object-View/KLD-257276
