Mat grass and wolf’s bane can be found at the Hochschachten.
The typical gnarled, very old trees, as well as wolf’s bane and mat grass can be found at the Hochschachten, which covers an area of about 9.5 hectare. The plants have their own special appeal and provide a diversified habitat for numerous insect, bird, reptile and bat species – some of whom are pretty rare. In 2018, a herd of red cattle grazed at the Hochschachten - also known as Großer Schachten - for the first time.
