Our four-legged gardeners

Wild horses help our landscape conservation efforts. They graze on a total of 158 hectares of land near Hanau and in Aschaffenburg, providing environmental sustainability by ensuring that the land does not become overgrown. In this way, the habitat of many plant and animal species is preserved.

By protecting the biotopes, we compensate for environmental readjustments that often cannot be avoided, for instance during the construction of a new tunnel between Aschaffenburg and Würzburg.
