The "Middlerhine" had no glaciers during the ice - age, so it was a shelter for animals and plants, who could not survive in other areas.
The sun heated schist releases the warmth during the nighttime, what means that it regulates the climate - one reason for the mild climate of the "Middlerhine".
This region is known as the region with the most different species(animals and plants) of the middle part of Europe.
The Loreley area is the native place plenty species, which you can find only very hard or absolute not anymore else in Middle - Europe.
You can find some of the Mediterranean species nowhere more in the north than in this area.
The humans have changed nature for centuries. Areas where you once could find vineyards, meadows and fields, you can now see many uncultivated fields.
