The Grainberg-Kalbenstein und Saupurzel reserve spans 302 hectares of limestone formations, sandstone terraces, vineyard walls, and diverse dry grasslands near the Main River.
The territory gained its initial protection status in 1941, making it one of the oldest conservation areas in Lower Franconia, with substantial expansion to 300 hectares in 2005.
