description

With a resolution of September 27, 1977, the former natural monument Astheimer Dürringswasen was converted into a nature reserve and in 1978 it became the first reserve in the Kitzingen district. It was an area of ​​2.5 hectares that enclosed hallway # 661. In the course of time the protected area was enlarged bit by bit.

The protected area is part of the Natura-2000 network and thus an element of the Maintal protected area between Schweinfurt and Dettelbach with the number DE6027471. In addition, the entire area is designated as a bird sanctuary and a flora-fauna habitat. The area received the number NSG-00574.01 from the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection.
