Bosel und Elbhänge nördlich Meißen, Special Area of Conservation near Meissen, Germany
The conservation area spans 157 hectares across steep slopes of the Elbe Valley, featuring rock formations, abandoned quarries, and loess plateaus near Meissen.
In December 2004, the European Commission confirmed the site's inclusion in the list of areas of Community importance following a June 2002 proposal.
The region incorporates multiple zones dedicated to traditional wine cultivation on the slopes, representing the agricultural methods of Saxon wine production.
The conservation area includes five separate sections with hiking trails reaching elevations from the Elbe River level up to 182 meters at Boselspitze.
The site contains calcium-rich springs, which rank among the best-preserved natural water sources in Saxony, supporting specialized plant communities.
