The Glindbusch is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxony city ​​of Rotenburg (Wümme) and the municipality of Gyhum in the joint municipality of Zeven in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) .

The nature reserve with the sign NSG LÜ 084 is 235  hectares in size. It is largely part of the FFH area "Wiestetal, Glindbusch, Borchelsmoor". The nature reserve consists of four sub-areas, which are linked by parts of the "Glindbachniederung, Hesedorfer Wiesen and Keenmoorwiesen" landscape conservation area. A part of the area in the east borders directly on the nature reserve " Westliches Borchelsmoor ". The area has been a nature reserve since April 1, 2012. The 92 hectare nature reserve and the nature reserve of the same name, which were designated on October 16, 1982, have been incorporated into it. Originally 250 hectares should be placed under nature protection. After objections from owners and users, a compromise had to be found. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the Rotenburg (Wümme) district.

The nature reserve is located southeast of the Federal Motorway 1 between Gyhum and Mulmshorn in a lowland . In the west it borders on the federal highway 71 , in the east partly on the railway line between Bremervörde and Rotenburg (Wümme) operated by the evb as part of the former Bremervörde – Walsrode railway line . At its core, it is a quarry forest area with scrub willow and alder forest as well as birch-oak forest and wet meadows , which are only partially used as grassland , under protection. The meadow areas have different degrees of moisture. Here are tall sedge and tall herbaceous marshes before. The nature reserve offers u. a. Otters and black storks provide a habitat. In the broken forest areas are u. a. You will find one berry , marsh marigold , alternate milkwort and alpine witchweed . A special feature of the nature reserve is the creeping celery , which has only three other occurrences in Lower Saxony in the districts of Vechta, Lüchow-Dannenberg and Diepholz.

The structurally rich deciduous forest stands out for its high proportion of old and dead wood . Old hat trees can be found in the forest area, which was previously used as coppice and medium forest . In the north-east of the nature reserve there are some near-natural fish ponds in a partial area east of the railway line. The nature reserve is traversed by the Glindbach, which flows into the Wieste at Mulmshorn , and some of its tributaries. Some of the streams have their source in the nature reserve.
