Jurassic Alb

Adventures, right on your doorstep (II): Two years ago, an abandoned old quarry near Gerhausen was transformed into a sort of private wildlife reservation. It hosts wild horses and wild cattle, both species new cultivars of extinguished savage animals. The parc is a state-wide model project, with the concept of species conservation by grazing and well supervised by nature conservation authorities. It's not open to the public, but since we know one of the owners, he took us for a private tour across the area and within three hours showed us almost every corner of the 75 hectares (185 acres) large property. We were just stunned: We'd never assumed so much beauty of animals and landscapes alike!
