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.
