Here lies a narrow, ravine-like beech forest, which is surrounded by spruce forest. The ravine forest-like beech forest is rich in shrubs and in the south rich in woody forests. Above the rocks there is a small lawn on the hilltop . Intensely used, structurally poor grassland surrounds the area. Typical moss and fern vegetation is present on the ledge that slopes to the southwest. Parts of the rocks are densely overgrown with bushes. The small, poor grassland exposed to the south grows on a former excavation area and is bordered in the west by hawthorn and blackthorn bushes. The poor pasture formerly adjacent to the poor grassland has been ruderalized. There is a large eutrophication site, excavated earth and rubble here.
