Protection purpose

The main protection purpose was the preservation of the near-natural, alpine-influenced river landscape with the natural course of the Argen and the adjoining or nearby near-natural lakes and fens. As a testimony to a largely unadulterated wild river landscape, it is of supraregional importance.

Habitats

The diversity of habitat types , in large areas still largely natural, and the often unadulterated settlement structure with elements of traditional land use are interlinking elements between the foothills of the Alps and Lake Constance. The protected area is mainly characterized by the following habitats: mixed forest (22%), damp and mesophilic grassland (20%), inland water , deciduous and coniferous forest and non-forest areas with wooden plants (11% each).
