geography
location
The Ahrenberg is a rounded elevation on the Nacker plateau that both south and west and slightly to the north at an altitude of 283- 240 m above sea level. NHN falls. It is mostly located in the north-western part of the municipality of Nack and parts south of the neighboring municipality of Wendelsheim. The survey extends over two mountainous landscapes. On the one hand, the Ahrenberg is located in the North Palatinate Bergland , on the other hand, the Ahrenberg is part of the Rheinhessen table and hill country .
Natural allocation
The Ahrenberg belongs within the natural spatial main unit group Saar-Nahe-Bergland (No. 19) in the main unit North Palatinate Bergland (193) and in the sub-unit Glan-Alsenz-Heights (193.12-16) to the natural area Wiesener Randhöhen (193.15). Immediately to the east, the greater natural region of the Upper Rhine Plain (No. 20-23) joins the main unit Rheinhessisches Tafel- und Hügelland (227), the Alzeyer Hügelland (227.4) with the natural area Bolander Randhöhen (227.41). A small part of the south-eastern part of the Ahrenberg lies on the Bolander edge heights , the border between the two natural areas runs directly on the western boundary of Nack.
height
The highest point of the Ahrenberg is at an altitude of 292 m above sea level. NHN . This makes the Ahrenberg one of the lowest elevations in the North Palatinate Uplands. In the immediately adjacent Rheinhessisches Tafel- und Hügelland, however, this would be a relatively common altitude.
nature
The bottoms of the collection consist mainly of andesite brown soil , a volcanic rock with middle- SiO 2 content, Verbraunung and Verlehmung that from the age of Perm originate. The andesite brown earth is an end product of dark, volcanic lava of the Rotliegend . It is a shallow, very stony, sandy-clay loam soil with little storage capacity for soil water available to plants . The soil has sufficient aeration, a good supply of nutrients as well as good heatability and limited root depth .
The soil-forming crumb consists mainly of weathered rock, in the northern part there is some loess overlay . The topsoil was affected by repeated trenching ( deep plowing ) and the introduction of humus . The mechanical loosening during plowing creates a significant improvement in the soil in terms of water and air balance in the rooting area of the vines.
In the Dreigemeindewald between Nack, Mörsfeld and Wendelsheim, there are several sites on private property on the Ahrenberg side that in recent years (2014–2016) have produced agates in an intense color. However, the pieces are usually smaller than 10 cm and have a large number of cracks.
Protected areas
To the west and northwest, the Ahrenberg borders the Arenberg-Dreigemeindewald nature reserve , a 0.65 km² area that was placed under nature protection in 1991 .
On the southern slope of the Ahrenberg, near the weekend house settlement , there is a 0.01 hectare rock face (area number: BT-6213-0150-2009). This rock face is subject to the statutory protection status "Biotope types of the legally protected biotopes" and "Protection for the conservation of biotopes of certain species". It concerns the biotope type "secondary silicate rock", which is "sparsely overgrown with trees". Near the rock face there is a "semi-dry grassland" (area number: BT-6213-0151-2009), which has the same protective status as the rock face. The lawn extends over two areas over an area of 0.73 ha. It is a biotope type " Trespen - semi - dry lawn ", a near-natural calcareous dry lawn with stages of shrubbery (Festuco-Brometalia).
Vineyard
The Ahrenberg has a vineyard location in the northwestern part of the district of Nack and comprises 95 hectares , of which 28 hectares are planted with vines . The single vineyard of the same name is located on the elevation . The single site Ahrenberg lies within the large Adelberg site , which in turn belongs to the Bingen area , an area in the Rheinhessen wine-growing region . The Rheinhessen wine-growing area is the largest wine-growing area in Germany with its 26,578 hectares of vineyards . The mineral deposits in the soil produce wines that are rich in body and extract . The vineyards agree particularly well for the cultivation of Bacchus , Pinot Gris , Müller-Thurgau and Ortega . But the red varieties Dornfelder , Portugieser and Regent also find optimal conditions here.
Weekend area
The Nacker weekend area is located on the south-western slope of the Ahrenberg.
