Wadi Al-Quff Reserve is one of the most important nature reserves in the Southern West Bank, covering an area of 3.2 square kilometers in the Hebron region. The reserve is characterized by its rich biodiversity and dense forests of Palestinian oak, terebinth, and carob trees that provide a natural habitat for dozens of species of birds, mammals, and reptiles.

The reserve was established in 1998 with support from the German Hanns Seidel Foundation, aiming to protect the unique ecosystem of the region and preserve Palestinian biodiversity. The reserve features five hiking trails ranging from easy to hard difficulty, making it an ideal destination for nature and hiking enthusiasts of all levels.

The reserve is known for its natural springs and unique rock formations, as well as being home to rare endemic Palestinian plant species such as Iris haynei and the black iris. The reserve is also an important stopover for migratory birds during spring and autumn.
