Breitenau: Protection through use

The kick-off takes place in an area that is considered one of the most ecologically interesting sites in Bamberg. Over 80 hectares have developed 16 different individual biotopes through flight operations and maintenance. Sandy, dry, and moist sites create rare habitats, where specialized animal and plant species find ideal conditions. Breitenau exemplifies the idea of protection through use and was designated as a nature conservation area in 2025.

The Hain: Bamberg's green gem

The journey continues across the city into the Hain, one of Bavaria's oldest public parks. Between the two arms of the Regnitz river, a historic floodplain landscape unfolds with forests, meadows, and water, showcasing a different ecological face than the airfield. Bamberg Tourism describes the Hain as a place for guided tours and as a special nature and cultural experience within the UNESCO World Heritage City.
