Why is Bad Homburg beautiful? What is special?
Many citizens have said that the parks and green spaces in Bad Homburg are particularly good.
The forests of the Taunus, orchards and meadows, fields and the parks and streams in the town show the diversity of the landscape in Bad Homburg. They characterize the image of the city and the landscape. The differences in altitude are great. The highest point is the Klingenkopf in the Taunus. It is very high. The lowest point is the Erlenbach in Ober-Erlenbach. It is much lower.
The landscape and open spaces in the city should be preserved for the future. They should be developed sustainably. That is important. There are many issues. For example:
- The open spaces and green areas near settlements should be secured and designed.
- The diversity of species and biotic communities should be preserved and developed.
- Cultural landscapes should be protected and developed. They are important for recreation.
- Soils and water cycles should remain biologically functional.
- Watercourses should be renaturalized.
A healthy landscape is important. It improves the climate. It provides water and soil. It protects against noise. It protects against erosion. The landscape is important for people's recreation. People experience nature. A beautiful landscape is important. It is important for competition with other cities. The preservation of open spaces is important. This is especially true in cities. Climate change makes this important. Open spaces are important for the quality of life. They help people to identify with the city. We want to develop the city of Bad Homburg well. We want a good environment. The environment should be liveable and diverse.
