Habitats and species in the
Heidenreichsteiner Moor Nature Reserve

A survivor with wet toes

The moor and the surrounding Waldviertel countryside provide numerous habitats for a wide variety of animal and plant species. However, high moors in particular are extreme habitats due to their prevailing conditions, in which only a few specialised species can survive. 

We would like to highlight some of these special species and habitats here.
