EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - UNESCO World Heritage

Kellerwald
In Kellerwald, the border was established
taking into account the specifi c qualities of
the component part, such as the high relief
energy, the disjointed occurrence of small
primeval-forest like steep slopes, and the
spatial distribution of valuable beech forests.
A coherent complex of valuable old-growth
beech forests has been included. Th e
demarcation of the buff er zone follows the
national park border. No buff er has been
designated in a very small plot located on
the northern border in order to integrate one
of the primeval beech forest slopes into the
property.
