Long ribbons of Lake Constance forget-me-nots once colored the shores of the glacial lakes at the foot of the Alps sky-blue. Nowadays, the special forget-me-not can be found in isolated places on the shingle beaches, including the beach band in the Hegne district. Although the small plant is very robust and has adapted to the extreme conditions of the flood zone, it is threatened with extinction in Germany and is on the Red List. Increasing recreational use and changing water level dynamics due to climate change pose a major threat to the Lake Constance forget-me-not. This is why the Lake Constance forget-me-not is under special protection.
