The rocky landscape of the Upper Danube Valley is a unique habitat for rare plants, some dating back to bygone eras or normally found in other regions such as the Alps. The rock garden serves to draw attention to this special flora and allows it to be observed without entering the area. It is beautifully landscaped and labeled with plant names.
