Kleinwendern near Bad Alexandersbad is the first village in Bavaria to receive the "Ark Village" certificate and now bears this title. Kleinwendern is now the second village nationwide to receive this distinction, and it will soon be displayed on the town signs. This is due to the villagers' constant efforts to keep ancient and endangered animal breeds alive and in their populations.
