Naturschutzgebiet – ein besonderer Lebensraum
Stolberg
At Schlangenberg, you enter one of the most valuable nature conservation areas in the region.
It's not just about recreation here, but about preserving a rare community of life. Heavy metal-containing soils make survival difficult for many plants – and simultaneously create niches for specialists.
The vibrant galmei violet, rare lichens, and warmth-loving insects characterize this special location. To ensure their survival, the landscape is maintained: open areas are preserved, and shrubs are cut back. This way, a habitat is preserved that safeguards the past – and secures the future.
