description

The slopes of the valley are dominated by mixed forests. At Thuisbrunn there are dry and semi-arid grassy slopes with sparse but even vegetation. The Wasserwiesenbach , also called Thuisbrunner Bach, flows in the valley floor and flows into the Hohenschwärzer Graben . In the lower part the brook has formed some remarkable limestone tufa terraces. The sides of the valley are formed by towering limestone cliffs and are a popular climbing area. Some rocks are designated as geotopes and natural monuments :
