Lunzberge

Lunzberge is a protected nature reserve featuring distinctive porphyry rock outcrops that rise prominently from the surrounding landscape. The site contains hundreds of plant and moss species that grow on and around the rocky formations.

The area was placed under official protection in 1994 to preserve the rare plant communities growing on the porphyry cliffs. This designation recognized the ecological importance of these distinctive rock formations.

The reserve is valued locally for the rare plants that thrive on the rocky outcrops scattered throughout the area. People visit to observe these special species in their natural setting.

The site is easily accessible with designated parking available near the main entrance. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since paths cross uneven terrain and wind between rock formations.

Some plants here grow only on this type of porphyry rock and have adapted to this specific ground over millions of years. This specialization makes the area particularly valuable for plant research.
