Tips

Juniper heaths grow on dry, nutrient-poor, and often steep slopes far from settlements, where grazing was rarely possible. They developed over the last few centuries through sheep, goat, or cattle grazing. The grazing by the sheep, goats, and cattle kept all the palatable plants short. Thorny plants like juniper, silver thistle, pasqueflower, or poisonous swallowwort were left alone by the sheep.

Nature reserve. Although small, the vegetation is reminiscent of the (Lüneburg) Heath. You can only walk around the outside here.

Small, cordoned off area, I find it twice as good because the area is not destroyed
