fauna and Flora

The former training area of the Bundeswehr consists of large parts of the Tertiary Hill Country and in the Isar Valley, the Ochsenau, of poor grassland with a few small bodies of water. The hillside Leite der Isar is dominated by natural forests, including in particular sycamore - ash forest and beech forests and orchids -Buchenwald. There are around 25 plant species on the Bavarian Red List , including the largest population of strawberry clover in Lower Bavaria . The region is a habitat for amphibians , birds , butterflies , grasshoppers , wild bees and beetles . Particularly noteworthy is the occurrence of the yellow-bellied toad , the great crested newt and the German tiger beetle . As a biotope maintenance measure, the former armored tracks are being made by heavy wheel loaders. This creates puddles and water holes that are intended to preserve the diverse range of species in the nature reserve.
