Animal habitat

Weather…

The animal habitat in Mauren is characterized by its varied hilly landscape and its proximity to the Austrian Vorarlberg. The municipality possesses valuable forest edges and hedgerow landscapes that serve as transit corridors for larger mammals such as deer and roe deer. By preserving small bodies of water, habitats have been specifically created for yellow-bellied toads and other protected amphibians. Mauren relies on near-natural management of its municipal forests, which increases structural diversity and thus the number of species. Many of the ecological areas are located in the Eschnerberg region, where dry sites host specialized flora. For nature lovers, the area gives quiet hiking trails with views of the Feldkirch basin. Cross-border cooperation in nature conservation ensures the genetic exchange of populations across national borders.
