description

The protected area "Kaiserstuhl" is described as "isolated mountains of partly volcanic origin with former quarries and geological outcrops of the Kaiserstuhl volcanism, with large and small vineyards, semi-dry and dry lawns, sage and oat meadows, dry bushes, meadow orchards, intensive fruit trees, hollows, arable fields Rocks, downy oak forests, oak-hornbeam forests and beech forests ”.

meaning

The “Kaiserstuhl” bird sanctuary is the most important breeding area for bee-eaters , stonechats and hoopoes in Baden-Württemberg, one of the most important breeding areas for tree falcons , peregrine falcons and stock pigeons, and a density center of the wryneck in Baden-Württemberg.
