Adjacent to the "Leckermoos" to the north, a very species- and flower-rich complex of mountain and wet meadows has developed here. The vegetation, which is very species-rich with over 70 plant species, is dominated by downy oat grass, moor grass and wood sedge. Impressive and endangered flowering plants, including a number of orchids, still find suitable living conditions here.
Such areas have become very rare and are of the highest conservation value.

Here you will find the following special plant species:

  • Broad-leaved orchid
    (Dactylorhiza majalis)
    Orchid plant
    Early/mid-May to early/mid-June
  • Spotted cinquefoil orchid
    (Dactylorhiza maculata)
    Orchid family
    June
  • Two-leaved wood hyacinth
    (Platanthera bifolia)
    Orchid family
    June
  • Marsh helleborine
    (Epipactis palustris)
