The Rochau Heath is part of a roughly 35,000-hectare, very pristine forest area of pine and sessile oak woodlands that were never completely cleared and still reflect the natural vegetation. Old trees and abundant bilberry bushes characterize the forest, which supports a particularly stable population of the boreal owl as well as breeding sites for the rare pygmy owl. The structurally diverse stands also offer good conditions for the possible reintroduction of the capercaillie, which was present here until the 20th century but later disappeared due to intensive forestry.
