"Fallen Rock" nature reserve

The nature reserve was named after a large boulder that lay at the foot of the Altenberg rock formation and was blown up and cleared away in the train of the tunneling between 1990 and 1992. The Altenberg is made up of sedimentary rock from the so-called "Oberrotliegend". In this rock, former "Bachwacken" break out openings are created in the rock, which are a paradise for cave-breeding bird species. Jackdaws, swifts, kestrels and even a pair of eagle owls raise their young here despite the proximity to the settlement. Extensive dry grasslands have developed on the shallow, south-facing slopes. Here you can see rare plants as splashes of color until early summer. Pasque Flower in March, eyeglass pods in April, grass lily or the yellow blooming hawkweed in May and June. The plant communities growing here are very sensitive to footsteps.

Great view of the districts Struth / Neuweg and Finsterheck / Hohl - partly on the city center. In the forest old abandoned houses that invite to explore
