Biotopverbund-Runde Holzbronn

Biotopes, habitats for animals and plants, are essential for the survival of fauna and flora. Their long-term survival is threatened by external influences, often resulting in a loss of biodiversity.In the structurally rich landscape around the Gültlinger and Holzbronn Heaths nature reserve, part of the model project to implement the biotope network in the district of Calw, you can hike through biotopes and explore the topic of biotope networks with the whole family.

"Landscape fragmentation, structural diversity, biotope network plans: these complicated terms are clearly explained on the newly developed information boards and examples are used to explain the influence they have on a functioning biotope network. The trail starts in Holzbronn and leads hikers through orchards, fields and past forests, meadows and fringes. And you're not alone: the little fox accompanies you! The life cycle of the butterfly is used to playfully draw the attention of hikers of all ages to its habitats in the landscape.The different habitats give structure to the landscape and enable a wide variety of species to find food, settle and reproduce. The aim of the biotope network is to promote the structural richness of the landscape and create habitats for native flora and fauna.
