FFH area 6605 - 302 "Near Gisingen"

FFH areas are special European protected areas in nature and landscape protection that have been designated according to the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive and serve to protect plants (flora), animals (fauna) and habitats (habitat types), which are listed in several appendices to Habitats Directive are listed. The Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive is a nature conservation directive of the European Union. FFH areas are part of the Natura 2000 network. Natura 2000 stands for a European network of contiguous protected areas, which is to be set up to protect native nature in Europe. Two legal directives determine which areas are suitable for this network: the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive and the Bird Protection Directive. The aim of the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive is to secure and protect wild species, their habitats and the Europe-wide networking of these habitats. Networking serves to preserve, (re) establish and develop ecological interrelationships as well as to promote natural expansion and repopulation processes. In Gisingen, the 152 hectare FFH area 6605 - 302 “Near Gisingen” was designated as part of the Natura Network 2000. Habitat types worthy of protection are the near-natural dry lime lawns visible here and in the further course of the route and their stages of shrubbery, lean flatland hay meadows, tufa springs, calcareous scree slopes of the colline to montane levels of Central Europe, limestone cliffs with crevice vegetation as well as ravine and mixed sloping forests of Tilio-Acerion. With a little luck you can discover a variety of herbs and flowers and special orchid species as well as ants, beetles, crested newts, various bat species and rare bird species.
