Guided Story
Imagine you're standing on what used to be a military training ground, now transformed into a haven for birds and wildlife. If you look to your left, you can still spot remnants of the old military structures, now overtaken by nature. Behind you, the Sandachse Franken stretches out, offering a unique habitat for rare plants and animals. Listen closely, and you might catch the rustle of a lizard in the underbrush or the flutter of a rare butterfly. Did you know this area is part of an important ecological corridor that links together various habitats? It's the perfect spot to slow down and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
