The nature reserve (NSG) Felsenmeer, Russenstein, Michelsbrunnen Nature Park consists of three parts and is located in the area of the city of Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg .
Sea of rocks
- Coordinates: 49 ° 24 ′ 16 " N , 8 ° 44 ′ 42" E
- Size: 4.95 ha (measured 5.4)
The Felsenmeer sub-area is located in the Heidelberg city forest , south of Schlierbach . The ice-age block pile made of weathering products of the rubble sandstone formation ( middle red sandstone ) on the northeast slope of the Königstuhl is home to loose vegetation of oak , birch , rowan berries and chestnuts and is rich in mosses and lichens .
Russenstein
- Coordinates: 49 ° 25 ′ 13 ″ N , 8 ° 43 ′ 33 ″ E
- Size: 3.5 ha (measured 4.3)
The area on the south-facing slope is characterized by oak and beech forests and, with its granite rocks and weathered soils, is well suited for heat-loving plants and trees. Before it was placed under protection in 1956, the forest anemone , the service tree , the common grass lily and the swallowweed , which have since disappeared due to neglected interventions in the overgrowth of the forest , thrived here . In 2009, rock protection measures took place which brought the area closer to the state in the mid-1950s and gave hope that the former vegetation would spread. In this part of the area lies the loess wall at the Haarlass , from which the geoscientist Karl Caesar von Leonhard took samples in 1824 and as a result introduced the sediment under the term loess into geological-mineralogical literature and thus shaped it worldwide. The Wilckensfels, made of Heidelberg granite , is also in the area .
Michelsbrunnen Nature Park
- Coordinates: 49 ° 23 ′ 15.3 " N , 8 ° 44 ′ 45.8" E
- Size: 1.4 ha (measured 1.5)
The area in the Heidelberg city forest is east of the Kohlhof . The deciduous forest has a well-developed herbaceous layer and is traversed by several small streams. Cave breeders find good nesting opportunities in old trees between the red sandstone blocks on the slope.
Overlap with other protected areas
The nature reserve lies entirely in the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park and largely overlaps with the FFH area Kleiner Odenwald .
