The nature reserve is located in the north of the city of Hildesheim, west of the Hildesheim industrial area at the Hildesheim canal . It places a section of the Innerste Au at the foot of the Mastberg and the Mastberg under protection.

In the floodplain east of the innermost grassland areas can be found that are used relatively extensively as wet meadows due to high groundwater levels . The course of the river is accompanied by natural remains of alluvial forest . There is an oxbow lake in the north . Further flood basins are flood lawn , Hochstaudenfluren and sedges - and reeds companies to find.

The Mastberg, which consists of Keuper rocks , is covered by an oak-hornbeam forest that emerged from a former use of medium-sized forests and forest pastures .

On the western edge of the forest there is a population of Schneitel hornbeam. In order to preserve the cultural and historical economic forest, the earlier use of medium-sized forests and snowploughs is now being replaced by maintenance measures by the Lower Saxony state forests.
