Isteiner Klotz, Nature reserve in Efringen-Kirchen, Germany.
The Isteiner Klotz rises 150 meters above the Rhine floodplains, forming a prominent limestone mountain ridge in the Baden-Württemberg district of Lörrach.
During World War II, military forces constructed 113 bunkers around the mountain ridge due to its strategic position near the French border.
The St. Veith Chapel, constructed in 1200 AD, stands as the last remaining structure of a former monastery complex on the mountain ridge.
Visitors can access multiple circular walking paths starting from the main parking area, where bronze plaques provide geological and prehistoric information.
The protected area houses over 350 butterfly species, 80 bird species, and 15 dragonfly species within its 26 hectares of diverse habitats.
