Das grüne Dach

The term "The Green Roof of Europe" refers to the largest contiguous forest area in Central Europe, stretching from Upper Franconia to Upper Palatinate, Lower Bavaria, Bohemia and Austria. On closer inspection, this cross-border area turns out to be a true treasure trove of nature with rugged peaks, Nordic-looking plateaus, jungle relicts, dark moors, ponds and a multitude of endangered plant and animal species. Capercail, lynx, black stork, wild cat, osprey and sea eagle as well as many other animals and also rare plants find here an intact habitat. Nature and landscape photographer Berndt Fischer has been under the "green roof" for years and has taken fascinating photos showing a completely new side of this green band that crosses the Goldsteig from north to south. He kidnapped in the new.
