The fascination of the Illgraben, the spicy fragrance of the forest, birdsong and the spectacular Bhutan Bridge

Leukerfeld

This section is characterised by small farms of part-time farmers and by newer residential homes. The Bhutan Bridge was planned in the UNO-Year of the Mountains in 2002 and was inaugurated in 2005. Black woodpeckers, green woodpeckers and other woodland species can be seen in this area. Every year, enormous quantities of debris flow down the Illgraben and provides researchers with valuable geological data.

Small sections of the forest have been cleared so that more light reaches the ground, thus allowing a diverse herb layer to develop. Different organisms benefit from these measures.
