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.

Flocks of sheep graze in the FFH area from spring to autumn. After two to three weeks, the shepherd moves on with his sheep.
The area used to be a military training area. Old tank roads and tank washing facilities bear witness to this time.

The former military area was classified in 2005 as a fauna-flora habitat and as an EU bird sanctuary.
