Gans und Rheingrafenstein

Nature Reserve

Beschreibung und Karte

The Gans und Rheingrafenstein nature reserve protects a unique porphyry rock landscape featuring the Rheingrafenstein, Gans, and Haidberg. It's a vital habitat for rare plants, plant communities, amphibians, and reptiles.

Established in 1985, the Gans und Rheingrafenstein nature reserve in Rheinland-Pfalz safeguards a distinctive natural landscape. It stands out due to its geological and morphological characteristics, defined by the prominent elevations of Gans and Haidberg, and the impressive porphyry rock formation of Rheingrafenstein. This area holds significant natural historical value, serving as a crucial habitat. It supports rare and endangered wild plants and unique plant communities. Furthermore, it provides refuge for threatened animal species, particularly amphibians and reptiles, which are of special scientific interest. The particular scenic beauty and unique character of this nature reserve, bordered by the Nahe river on its western side, establish it as an important natural monument.
