Explanation of the meaning of “No coat without a hem”:
Without human intervention, Central Europe would be largely covered by deciduous forests. - Only raised moors, coastal dunes, parts of the river floodplains or rocks like here on the Schwiemelkopf would be free of forest.
Beech forests at the limit of their existence.
The vigor of the beech is clear on the shallow soils above the rock face
restricted.
In such locations, trees such as oaks or hornbeams have the chance to compete with the otherwise superior beech.
The increased incidence of light also allows a species-rich herb layer to develop. This is the habitat of forest orchids such as forest birds and forest hyacinths.
The transition area between open land and forest is marked by the edge of the forest, which is made up of the forest mantle and the herbaceous fringe in front of it. In the
Hawthorn, dogwood, juniper or blackthorn are often found in the forest cover. The range of flowers in the hem is dominated by, among other things, swallowwort.
It is the special microclimate and the location factors and vegetation conditions that differ from the surrounding area that ensure that plants and animals with a wide variety of requirements come together here in a particularly species-rich community.
To protect nature.

The Butterfly Trail lives up to its name. Between May and around September, you can see an incredible number of butterflies on this trail.
