Creuzburger Werratal-Hänge, Special Area of Conservation in Wartburgkreis, Germany
The Creuzburger Werratal-Hänge extends over 147 hectares, featuring steep limestone cliffs, diverse vegetation zones, and varying elevations from 198 to 376 meters.
The conservation area received its protected status in 1999, integrating three separate nature reserves: Lienig, Klosterholz, Nordmannssteine, and Ebenauer Köpfe into a unified protection zone.
The land demonstrates traditional agricultural practices through small areas used for sheep and goat grazing, while maintaining natural habitats for protected species.
Visitors can explore the area through multiple hiking trails and the Werratal cycling path, which provides views of the slopes and opportunities to observe local flora and fauna.
The site contains more than twenty orchid species thriving on calcareous soils, along with nesting areas for red kites and eagle owls.
