Flora & Fauna
Auf dem Flugplatz gibt es neben dem Flugbetrieb auch viele natürliche Flächen. Dort wachsen unterschiedliche Kräuter und Wiesenpflanzen, die Lebensraum und Nahrung für Tiere bieten. In den offenen Bereichen leben kleine Säugetiere, und am Himmel sind regelmäßig größere Greifvögel unterwegs. So entsteht eine einfache, aber funktionierende Kombination aus Nutzung und Natur.
Broadleaf thyme
This type of thyme prefers sunny locations with well-drained soil and is often found in herb gardens, natural landscapes, and even rock gardens. Broadleaf thyme is known for its strong aroma and is frequently used as a culinary and medicinal herb. Its distinctive flavor adds a special touch to many dishes, such as soups, sauces, and meat dishes.
Clove oatgrass
This flower not only has aesthetic value, but also ecological importance.

In addition, the clove-leaved pennycress forms dense cushions and contributes to soil stabilization, especially in harsh and dry environments.
