This nature reserve was opened in December 2002 but doesn't seem to be very well known. Perhaps that is not a bad thing as previously it was used to dump abandoned cars, and other anti-social practices. Today it is an attractive place to visit. It consists of pine woodland and lowland heath. Extending to eleven hectares (27 acres), it is home to insects including bee wolves, which are rare wasps that hunt bees. There are several entrances to the reserve.
