Halser Ilzschleifen, Protected area in Passau and Salzweg, Germany
The Halser Ilzschleifen encompasses 89 hectares of river landscape where the Ilz River meanders through slate layers, creating natural geographical formations.
The nature reserve was established in 1993 following a citizen initiative that successfully prevented the construction of a bridge connecting major highways.
The area contains two medieval structures: Burg Hals on a narrow rock ridge and Burg Reschenstein with its square tower, both privately owned.
Visitors can access the 11.45-kilometer hiking trail from the parking area at Passau-Hals marketplace, following marked paths through the reserve.
The reserve houses 133 moss species and the woolly spurge plant, which within Germany grows exclusively in this location.
