# Biosphere Reserve<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Gentle tourism, organic agriculture… people have been working in harmony with nature here for centuries. Companies are also encouraged to produce as environmentally friendly as possible. This requires a lot of persuasion and constant commitment. In 1991, UNESCO awarded it the title of Biosphere Reserve.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

sunt devitiae roenae: Snow, night and fog are the treasures of the Rh\u00f6n, said Melchior Adam Weikard, the episcopal physician from Fulda, in the 18th century. And he added: “There are few regions in Europe that are more beautiful.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
