The source areas of primary and secondary streams are in grazed grassland, with old hedgerows of Book and sloes . Further down the stream are pools and small cascades in the stream bed. In the abandoned grasslands of the middle stream section are butterbur and Mädesüßflure , also eagle ferns and Staußgrasrasen has settled here. The rocky southern slope is covered with mosses and lichens , on the slate rock ridges and knolls there is an extensive, acidic sessile oak forest with a closed, species-poor herb layer . At the foot of the northern slope you will find narrow remains of old beech forest with a demanding herb layer.
