About this book

Language: Germab

Die Flora der Voralpen takes you on a journey of discovery in the plant world of the mountains between Lake Thun and Lake Geneva, revealing the richness and uniqueness of this natural heritage.

The flora of this region owes its diversity to being at the intersection between the Jura mountains, the southwestern Alps, the Central Alps and the Central Plateau. With a wealth of information and images, the different habitats are presented with their vegetation types and the resident plant species. The focus is on floristic and environmentally significant, as well as rare and attractive plant groups. This naturalistic view is complemented by a number of cultural and historical digressions – for example, from the advent of tourism to the farming systems and the major export commodity cheese.

Thus the book is not only an ideal companion on hikes through the mountains and on field trips, but it also provides rich background information for those who want to deal with this region more in-depth.

Summary in German:
Die Flora der Voralpen lädt ein zu einer Entdeckungsreise in die Pflanzenwelt der Bergketten zwischen Thuner- und Genfersee und enthüllt den Reichtum und die Einzigartigkeit dieses Naturerbes.

Ihre Vielfalt verdankt die Flora dieser Region der Lage am Schnittpunkt zwischen Jurakette, südwestlichen Alpen, Zentralalpen und Mittelland. Mit einer Fülle an Informationen und Bildern werden die unterschiedlichen Lebensräume mit ihren Vegetationstypen und den darin vorkommenden Pflanzenarten vorgestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf floristisch und ökologisch bedeutsamen, auf seltenen sowie auf attraktiven Pflanzengruppen. Ergänzt wird die naturkundliche Sicht durch eine Reihe von kulturgeschichtlichen Exkursen – beispielsweise zum Aufkommen des Tourismus, zu den Bewirtschaftungsformen und dem wichtigen Exportgut Käse.

Damit ist das Buch nicht nur ein idealer Begleiter auf Wanderungen durch die Bergwelt und auf Exkursionen, sondern es bietet auch reiches Hintergrundwissen für diejenigen, die sich vertieft mit dieser Region befassen wollen.
