Best cave trails in Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park
The Neue Hagen nature reserve exerts an extraordinary fascination. At an altitude of 800 metres, the heath and raised bog are home to rare flora and fauna that have been protected since 1955. Heidschnucken, which act as "natural lawnmowers", graze there and thus ensure the preservation of the heath. Birds such as the cuckoo, capercaillie and nightjar build their nests. Hobby biologists even discover arctic and alpine plants in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve.
