The Eichhalde is a sheep pasture in the lower part of the slope that climbs from the Linsenbach to the Breitenstein . It forms one of the most valuable heaths in the entire area of ​​the Swabian Alb , because one of the largest occurrences in all of Central Europe of the rare bumblebee ragwort ( Ophrys holoserica ) with different variations can be found there. In addition, the following largely protected species live here: bee ragwort ( Ophrys apifera ), fly ragwort ( Ophrys insectifera ), pale orchid ( Orchis pallens ), two-leaved forest hyacinth ( Platanthera bifolia ), red forest bird ( Cephalanthera rubra ), white Waldvögelein ( Cephalanthera damasonium ), German ring gentian ( Gentianella germanica ), Common Frans gentian ( Gentianopsis ciliata ), silver thistle ( Carlina acaulis ), gold thistle ( Carlina vulgaris ), Gemeines Fettkraut ( Piguicula vulgaris ) and sump heart Journal ( Parnassia palustris ).
