The nature reserve is located southeast of Braunschweig. It places open land areas of the former training area near Cremlingen on a hilly relief as well as adjacent forest areas in the west and south with natural and structured oak and mixed beech forests under protection. The open land areas are characterized as poor, lowland hay meadows and pipe grass meadows. Embedded in it are small sandy lawns and open ground areas as well as small wooded areas. In some places water-bearing still waters can only be found temporarily. Reitlingsgraben and Cremlinger Bach and some of them flowing streams run through the nature reserve. Reeds and sedges are formed in damp places. In the north of the nature reserve there is a brine spring in a wet meadow rich in tall forebears. A 127 hectare part of the nature reserve has been part of the national natural heritage since the end of 2017.

Kreuz Pond (Riddagshausen Nature Reserve)

Highlight • Lake

With a size of twelve hectares, the Kreuzteich is the second largest pond in the Riddgagshäuser nature reserve after the Scharpenbruchteich. It is the habitat of numerous waterfowl, amphibians and insects. The fish pond is part of the pond system that was laid out 900 years ago around the Riddagshausen monastery. The Kreuzteich is probably Braunschweig's most popular ice skating surface when it's frozen over.
