Ein 🐟 namens Wander

Hiking

Right outside the gates of the city of Wetzlar is the 182 hectare NABU protected area “Weinberg Wetzlar”. The wide cultivated landscape, which is grazed by sheep, offers a habitat for many rare animals and plants in the open fields and hedges.

Detailed information can also be found on the NABU website: hessen.nabu.de/wirueberuns/organisation/stiftung/schutzgebiets/weinberg/19001.html.
