Horbat Qarta nature reserve

Horbat Qarta nature reserve encompasses various habitats with distinct geological formations including kurkar outcrops and Mediterranean vegetation patterns.

Research studies conducted in 2013 examined the relationship between terrestrial gastropods and different types of kurkar outcrops within the reserve boundaries.

The reserve functions as an educational center where researchers document and study the diverse population of terrestrial gastropods and local flora.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails and observe the gastropod species during spring and late summer when their activity increases.

The reserve contains specific geological formations that create distinct microhabitats for numerous terrestrial gastropod species, contributing to regional biodiversity studies.
