Culture and sights
Jauchzenthal nature reserve
The Jauchzenthal nature reserve was designated on April 6, 1995. It covers a total area of about 3.6 hectares. The designation was based on the location of the rare plants, broad-leaved orchid and globe flower, which has been proven here according to the protection report . In order to maintain this stock, which could only develop as a consequence of the previous cultural landscape, a strategy for suitable protection and maintenance work was drawn up, which is to be carried out every year in August. In addition to the flora, 47 species of birds, 17 species of butterflies and nine species of mammals have been identified in the protected area. Some animal and plant species are already on the Red List of Endangered Species in Thuringia .
