The {{langr|de|Eilenriede}} (literally 'alder marsh' in German, meaning 'marsh populated with alder trees') is a {{convert|input=P2046|acre|adj=on}} municipal forest in Hanover, Germany. It is the largest urban city forest in Germany, one of the largest in Europe, and is nearly twice the size of Central Park in New York. The biggest German urban park in the strict sense of the word, however, is the {{convert|375|ha|acre|adj=on}} English Garden in Munich.

Size comparison

In Germany, the Eilenriede is part of a group of inner-city and near-city forest areas, like the Rostock Heath ({{convert|6000|ha|disp=or}}), the Dresden Heath ({{convert|5900|ha|disp=or}}), the Frankfurter Stadtwald ({{convert|4800|ha|disp=or}}) and the Berliner Grunewald ({{convert|3000|ha|disp=or}}). The Eilenriede is around the same size as the Stadtwald in Duisburg ({{convert|600|ha|disp=or}}) and is nearly twice as large as Central Park ({{convert|340|ha|disp=or}}) in New York.

Location

Eilenriede encloses the south of the city roughly in the shape of a mirror-inverted letter 'C', extending about {{convert|6|km}} from north to south. Reaching in its southwest to the Masch Lake, the Eilenriede is traversed by a network of {{convert|80|km}} of walking, {{convert|38|km}} of bicycle, and {{convert|11|km}} of riding paths.
