Description
Falätsche has a very diverse vegetation due to frequent landslides. Down at the foot of the area it reminds you of a mixed forest in central Europe, but on the slopes it feels more like a mountain slope in southern Europe. In the open forest there are various orchids in May and June. But the Falätsche also offers bird species, which are rare in Mittelland, such as budníček horský pěvuška modrá datel černý, strakapoud prostřední, krkavec velký rorýs velký pěnice pokřovní, lejsek šedý, hýl obecný, dlask tlustozobý, drozd brávník and jestřáb lesní.
