Descriptif

The Reihenkrater Mosenberg und Horngraben nature reserve in Rheinland-Pfalz is a testament to the region's volcanic past. It encompasses a fascinating series of craters, notably the Mosenberg, which rises prominently within its western area. The reserve also protects the scenic Horngraben, a gully carved by the Kleine Kyll river, which flows through the eastern part. This area is dedicated to safeguarding its unique geomorphological features—the distinct crater row and the deeply incised gully—along with the diverse ecosystems and natural habitats they support. It preserves the landscape's characteristic structure and serves as a vital refuge for specialized flora and fauna thriving in these volcanic and riverine environments.
