Hörbacher Viehweide

Nature Reserve

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.

Die „Hörbacher Viehweide“ setzt sich aus den schützenswerten Lebensraumtypen Heide, Halbtrocken- und Felsrasen zusammen. Auf den ackerbaulich unproduktiven, flachgründigen Böden, die in historischer Zeit als Weiden für Schafe, Ziegen und Rinder genutzt wurden, gedeihen stark gefährdete Pflanzenarten, wie unter anderem zahlreiche Orchideen. Das Gebiet ist darüber hinaus bedeutsamer Lebensraum für viele Schmetterlings- und Heuschreckenarten und dient teils stark bedrohten Vogelarten als Brutgebiet.
