Tips
The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön stands for a variety of landscapes with great biodiversity.
Both are directly related.
The "land of open spaces" is a man-made landscape with many meadows and pastures.
Countless animal and plant species, including many endangered species, live in this cultural landscape, but also in the 3% wilderness areas.
The cultural diversity with its history, dialects, rites and traditions are also a valuable treasure of the region.
To ensure that this remains the case in the future, we want to preserve and, where necessary, maintain natural and near-natural habitats in addition to cultural diversity.
This secures the genetic stock and thus the diversity of life.(Source: biosphaerenreservat-rhoen.de)translated by
