The NRW Foundation ensures that some large meadows in the area are not cultivated. In the spring, many wild orchids and pasque flowers bloom on this barren limestone lawn.

Hiking

Even in summer and autumn, rare plants bloom on the nutrient-poor soils. B. the autumn crocus. Warning, these plants are poisonous!

Hiking

The first parts of the area have been designated as a nature reserve since 1990. The North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation has gradually acquired the area since 1992 so that it now covers an area of approx. 80 hectares. Many rare and endangered species of butterflies can be found here during the flowering season.
