Alpine Fen Meadow
Highlight • Natural
Various species of orchids, such as blood-red orchid, onion orchid or marsh orchid but also the beautifully flowering fever clover are attractive species in this now rare habitat. The fluffy inflorescences of the cotton grass, which also occurs, add splashes of white color to the landscape in summer. To prevent fens from growing into wet forests, regular litter cutting or extensive grazing is necessary.

Schletterriti Amphibian Spawning Area and Scharhag Fence
Highlight • Natural Monument
A handful of ponds and some ditches serve as spawning areas for a population of grass frogs. The ponds are fed by groundwater and therefore never dry out. Structural elements such as rhizomes on the banks provide frogs with hiding places.

View of the Urnerboden Moorland
Highlight • Natural Monument
Large parts of the Urnerboden are of national importance as a moorland landscape. The landscape has an original, undisturbed character. It has a variety of relief forms, lively traditional uses and well-preserved cultural landscape elements such as wooden fences, stone walls and alpine and scattered huts.
The ecological importance of the Urnerboden lies in the widespread moorland areas on the plain and the species-rich dry meadows and pastures on the southern slope. Around 34 hectares of moors (flat and raised moors) and around 114 hectares of dry pastures or wild hay areas are designated and are mostly of national importance. Other habitats such as streams, springs, trees and forests complement the valuable habitat mosaic.
