UNESCO-Welterbe — Naturstätten
What this layer shows
The natural World Heritage properties in Switzerland, with the property and its buffer zone. World Heritage status creates no federal law of its own; Switzerland protects the sites through existing inventories, above all the BLN, and through spatial planning, and has undertaken to UNESCO to preserve their outstanding universal value.
