Protection purpose

According to the Protected Area Ordinance, an essential protection purpose is conservation

• and maintenance of the numerous, biologically diverse structures of the former vineyards, which have developed into habitats of high ecological importance;
• an area that, with its wide stone bars and narrow former vineyards, is a remarkable cultural testimony;
• and promotion of the diverse vegetation typical of the natural area, especially the semi-arid grassland with its rare or endangered species, the thermophilic fringes and the sage-oat meadows;
• and maintenance of a typical cultural landscape with bushes, hedges and forests;
• a local deciduous mixed forest with a predominant proportion of hardwood;
• and promotion of the animal world that is dependent on these structurally rich habitats, which must be specially protected in view of the occurrence of numerous species threatened with extinction, highly endangered or rare, in particular the butterflies, moths and reptile species.
