Teufelskadrich bei Lorch, Protected nature area in Rheingau-Taunus district, Germany.
The conservation site extends over 380 hectares of forested stone slopes that descend into the Rhine Valley at a steep gradient.
The area received its initial designation as a 138-hectare nature reserve in 1995, followed by incorporation into the Natura 2000 network in 2004.
The term Kadrich refers to natural or constructed sliding tracks used for transporting wood from the hinterland down to the Rhine Valley.
The site contains multiple quartzite quarries and maintains protected habitats for species such as the Russian Bear moth, wall lizards, and woodpeckers.
Local water channels called Kadrich stretch from the heights toward the Rhine River, serving to direct water flow during heavy rainfall.
