Description & Map
Summary
Nature reserves constitute one of the most important conservation categories in Germany and Austria. The exact definitions vary, but together they combine the conservation of natural landscape, the protection of endangered species and the preservation for scientific interests.
Description
The Hohe Ifen is a unique natural creation in terms of topography and geology with a great wealth of alpine plants in the gullies and crevices of the cirques. This structural and species diversity is what makes the area so valuable.
