Very nice, renaturalized hiking area and as I could see today...sheep grazing area...don't be alarmed...sheepdogs are on site and like to make a loud report

The 59.44 hectare FFH area is characterized by open, large, lean grassland areas with numerous bushes and diverse ponds as well as the smaller, eponymous "heads" wooded with oak trees.
The use as a military training area, which lasted until 2006, led to the area's current shape. Tank drives created the numerous shallow small ponds, habitats worth protecting for amphibians such as the two FFH species of great crested newt and yellow-bellied toad. Other species include the European tree frog, the sand lizard, the natterjack and midwife toad, as well as butterflies and grasshoppers. The bird world is represented by endangered species such as the wryneck, the turtle dove and the wheatear.
You can find out more about the ponds and their inhabitants here:

If it's foggy in the Wetterau, you have the chance to see the blue sky up here. Please stay on the paths and take your rubbish with you (or collect it). The paths are solid but can be slippery.
Be careful, the oak trees are also often infested with oak processionary moths!
