A fault in the Lautergraben formed a prominent step on the Hungerberg, along which a strip of heather stretches with an incline to the east-south-east. Hedges, bushes and some mighty willow beeches mark the area as a former sheep pasture.

The area lies in the natural area 095- Middle Area Alb within the natural spatial main unit 09- Swabian Alb . Together with the " Heuhofer Weg " nature reserve located around 1200 meters further to the west, the area serves to secure the landscape on the Hungerberg.

Protection purpose

According to the Protected Area Ordinance, the main protection purpose is conservation

  • a former sheep pasture in the Swabian Alb with its extensively used areas as a retreat for numerous plant and animal species that no longer find a habitat in the intensely agricultural landscape,
  • the landscape-defining beauty and uniqueness of the area as a relic of earlier economic methods,
  • a relaxation room with a high level of experience.

Particularly worthy of protection are the gentian kammschmielengesellschaft of the formerly grazed limestone grasslands, the poor meadows with their abundant population of orchids and butterflies, the sprinkled dry grassland and semi-dry grassland vegetation, the hedgerows and bushes of the sloe hedge societies as the common foliage trees as well as the typical plants of the foliage trees Breeding and feeding space for numerous bird species and the rich insect fauna, including numerous species of butterflies and grasshoppers, resulting from the species-rich vegetation mosaic.
