The 538.5 hectare area with the NSG no. 265 was placed under nature protection in 2010 and, with its dry grasslands, is an important habitat for rare plants and animals.

These are Keuper ridges running parallel in an east-west direction in the Grabfeld, on the northern slopes with structurally rich oak-hornbeam forests, on the southern slopes with large areas of dry limestone grassland and some orchards.

You can find out which plants this area is a habitat worth protecting for here:
