• Group: A = Amphibians, B = Birds, F = Fish, I = Invertebrates, M = Mammals, P = Plants, R = Reptiles
• S: in case that the data on species are sensitive and therefore have to be blocked for any public access enter: yes
• NP: in case that a species is no longer present in the site enter: x (optional)
• Type: p = permanent, r = reproducing, c = concentration, w = wintering (for plant and non-migratory species use permanent)
• Unit: i = individuals, p = pairs or other units according to the Standard list of population units and codes in accordance with Article 12 and 17 reporting (see reference portal)
• Abundance categories (Cat.): C = common, R = rare, V = very rare, P = present - to fill if data are deficient (DD) or in addition to population size information
• Data quality: G = 'Good' (e.g. based on surveys); M = 'Moderate' (e.g. based on partial data with some extrapolation); P = 'Poor' (e.g. rough estimation); VP = 'Very poor' (use this category only, if not even a rough estimation of the population size can be made, in this case the fields for population size can remain empty, but the field "Abundance categories" has to be filled in)

3.3 Other important species of flora and fauna (optional)

Other Site Characteristics

Die Bruchhauser Steine, eine bis zu 90 m hohe Felsgruppe, ragt mit vier mächtigen Quarzporphyrfelsen weithin sichtbar aus den umgebenden montanen Buchenmischwäldern hervor. Die Felsen und Blockfelder sind z.T. auch in Grünland eingebettet. Im Gebiet kommen folgende FFH-Lebensraumtypen vor: 9110, 9180, 91E0

4.2 Quality and importance

Die Felsen sind traditioneller Brutplatz d. Wanderfalken u. des Uhus u. weisen eine einzigartige, in NRW hochgradig seltene Felsvegetation (Eiszeitrelikte) auf. Im Bereich der Felsen Reste einer Fliehburg mit Umwallung aus dem 7 Jhdt. v.Chr. (Bodendenkmal) Porphyrfelsen mit u.a. herausragender vegetationsgeographischer Bedeutung als ausseralpiner Wuchsort von Glazialrelikten.
