Nature
In Germany, the Seven Mountains are one of the areas under nature protections most oldest. Since 1958, they are nature park, 1971 they were awarded the "Europe diploma". Nonetheless, they have an eventful, even dramatic history. In old pictures, you can see how much the quarries had damaged the nature. Today it is a wonderful place again, and we owe that to the commitment of the Verschönerungsverein für das Siebengebirge (VVS). Today, the Seven Mountains offer a varied landscape, and a flora and fauna with a large number of species. Many endangered animals and plants live here.

But .. you should discover all that for yourself, these pages are only and invitation.
