habitat

In some places in the nature reserve, heather bogs have formed, some of which reach a depth of one meter. Many of the plants growing in these areas are endangered species.

The nature reserve, with its heaths and open sandy areas, is one of those areas of Schleswig-Holstein that are of particular importance for heat-loving insects. These animals include rare butterflies, digger wasps , tiger beetles and spiders. The very rare Ural ant is found here, which only applies to a few other locations in this state. Other rare animal species found here include the partridge, the sand lizard and the adder .
