MOSEL treasure trove
To promote and protect the special vineyard habitat with its biodiversity, the ‘Lebendige Moselweinberge’ initiative [living Mosel vineyards] was launched in 2013. Coordinated by the Mosel rural service centre (DLR), it covers all activities that focus on both the grapevines and the entire vineyard ecosystem. The aim is to highlight the importance of the exceptional flora and fauna in the vineyard and to increase levels of biodiversity.
One particular project is the ‘highlights of biodiversity’-places that demonstrate the exceptional abundance of typical habitats, animal and plant species. The highlight locations are marked with signs with QR codes that visitors can use to access detailed information on the special features of the location in question.
