Out of Love for Nature
There’s Plenty of Everything. Except People.
Where can you still find it: beautiful, untouched nature? Baden-Württemberg is surprisingly full of it. With precious landscapes worth protecting, hidden lakes, mystical gorges, endless forests offering fresh air, wildcats, and wild bees. In the ten large conservation areas of Baden-Württemberg, you can soak up the silence while hiking, let your mind rest while cycling, and open your heart to nature’s spectacles. If you’re lucky, a rare Alpine Ring Ouzel may flutter by.
In the biospheres, cultural landscapes have grown for centuries, where tradition meets innovation, endangered species thrive, and humans and nature live in harmony – protected by UNESCO.
Protecting through utilisation: Nature parks preserve cultural landscapes, promote sustainable development, and support tourism in harmony with nature and landscape conservation.
