    Hiking

    To maintain grassland, some form of management is necessary: mowing, grazing, or a combination of both. This grassland has long been used as pasture, formerly for horses, now for sheep. Grazing causes less disruption and provides more structure to the vegetation than mowing. Animals don't graze everywhere or with the same intensity. It also kills fewer beneficial insects and other fauna than when using machinery. The manure produced by grazers is useful for many invertebrate dung-eaters, and therefore also for insectivores.

    Hiking

    Enjoy the view.
    Some grasslands are more valuable to nature than others. Some grasslands have an exceptionally high natural value due to their age, unique location or because they have been managed as a nature reserve for many years. We call these grasslands 'historically permanent grasslands'.
