General ecological features: The whole spectrum of forest types typical for the northern limestone alps can be found,
including some very rare and endangered associations like Tilio-Acerion ass., CephalantheroFagion.
Noteworthy parts of the forest up to a size of about 50 to 100 hectares are at a very
natural state, also virgin forest still exist.
About 20% of the area is characterized by non forest habitats. Grasslands like dry primary lawns,
grasslands caused by avalanches or extensively used grasslands contribute at about 25% to this
type of landscape, the main habitat are dwarf pine stands (Mugo-Rhododendretum hirsuti).
