The Swabian Alb is an oasis for man, animals and plants. Ist extensive mixed woods comprise charming, typical steppe heathland with its juniper bushes, beeches, oaks, maples, elms and conifers. The fields, woods and meadows are hemmed with hazel, dog rose, sloe and hawthorn. The rare plants to be found range from carline thistles to orchid species. The diverse fauna and microfauna, with its amphibians, reptiles, insects and birds to be found on the margins of fields and woods, ponds and wetlands, makes you want to (re)discover your environment. Walking along the rivers and streams, you will discover trout, storks and herons. The woods are still home to badgers, foxes, deer, hare and wild boar.
