Space for living

Orchids rich beech forests, bizarre rock formations and natural streams, colorful blooming neglected grassland, sun-drenched junipers and mysterious Moore: That’s “Exquisite Nature” in the cultural region of Höxter. Here, the European network worth protecting habitats under the heading Natura 2000 is particularly closely linked.

On a total of 8,400 acres of many rare animals of our European natural heritage live. Stag beetle, gray and middle spotted woodpecker, dormouse and wild cat and also how the greater mouse-eared bats inhabit the forests. In rock crevices brooding owl and peregrine falcon, sand lizard and smooth snake basking on open neglected grassland. In the world of water are bullhead, great crested newt, frog and the colorful kingfisher at home and in the sky of the diverse cultural landscape circle red and black kite.
