Typical Tuffit from Jusi .

The Jusi forms the end of a narrow ridge, the summer mountain, which extends from the Alb plateau in a north-westerly direction into the Alb foreland and is made up of volcanic tuffite. This ridge separates the Ermstal in the south from the Steinachtal in the north. The 48.9 hectare nature reserve is located south of Kohlberg and east of the Neuffen district of Kappishäuser . The Jusi is located in the natural area 101 Mittleres Albvorland within the natural spatial main unit 10 - Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land . It is part of the 1,617 hectare FFH area No. 7422342 Hohenneuffen, Jusi und Baßgeige , as well as the bird sanctuary No. 7323441 foreland of the central Swabian Alb , which has a size of 17,003 hectares. The nature reserve is supplemented by the nature reserve No. 1.16.064 Albtrauf Kohlberg .

Protection purpose

Jusi rise. Right Kohlberg

The need for protection of the Jusi arises u. a. from its special geological features, its overall landscape shape and its cultural and historical significance. It is a diversely structured, volcanic landscape with heathland, bushes, hedges, orchards, extensive, species-rich meadows, natural deciduous forests and warmth-loving forest fringes. This high value as a habitat for numerous, in part highly endangered, plants and animals and the high structural wealth are the main reasons why Jusi is worthy of protection.
