Flechten, Moos & Farn - uralte Überlebenskünstler
Overview
Intro
In the Sardona World Heritage Site, it’s not just the mountains that are ancient—the life that thrives among them also carries memories of times long past.
The mountains of the Sardona UNESCO World Heritage Site tell the story of Earth’s history spanning millions of years. But among the rocks, on the ground, and on tree bark, other witnesses to time thrive: lichens, mosses, and ferns.
These tiny organisms have developed amazing strategies to survive over millennia and under the most challenging conditions. On our discovery tour, we’ll delve into the hidden world of these ancient life forms and learn what stories they tell about nature, adaptation, and the evolution of life—and how they’re connected to the rocks and nature of the Alps in fascinating ways.
A journey to the silent inhabitants of the World Heritage Site—small in size, yet grand in history.
