    Hiking

    They are really impressive in size, the Heck cattle, who live here year-round outside themselves. They are a breeding back of the aurochs extinct in Europe in the 16th century, which until then had been spread over almost all of Europe.
    Here they actively pursue nature conservation by keeping meadows short. And every now and then one finds its way onto our plates. 🥩 🍽

    Hiking

    The ERNA association and its aurochs

    The Schrobach Foundation secured numerous areas in the Bünzau valley
    for nature conservation and created a number of near-natural bodies of water. The Heck cattle of the ERNA association, which are similar to the extinct aurochs, are worth seeing. The robust cattle stay outside all year round and, as four-legged landscapers, ensure that the areas do not become overgrown. Rare plant and animal species are protected and promoted by the type of grazing. Only in very hard winters do the cattle have to be fed.
