The Bärentobel is a nature reserve (NSG number 1.116) in the area of ​​the city of Uhingen in the district of Göppingen in Baden-Württemberg . With an ordinance of October 10, 1983, the Stuttgart Regional Council placed the area under nature protection.

location

The protected area is about one kilometer east of the Nassach district of the city of Uhingen . The current flowing through the bear ravine bears Tobelbach is a left-hand side of the creek Nassach .

The nature reserve is located in the natural area 107 - Schurwald and Welzheimer Wald within the natural spatial main unit 10 - Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land . It is supplemented by the Nassachtal nature reserve and is part of the 2,520 hectare FFH area no. 7222341 Schurwald .

Protection purpose

The protection purpose is the preservation of the very valuable, hardly touched rocky gorge including its side blades, with its rock formations and its natural, species-rich flora. It essentially runs in the parlor sandstone , only at its lowest end the upper colored marls come to light.

The Bärentobel is particularly remarkable because of its flora, primarily because of the abundance of ferns. The following were proven:

• Lady fern
• Worm fern
• Thorn fern
• Potted fern (rare)
• Beech fern (remarkable mass occurrence of these ferns, although not extremely rare, but certainly not one of the common plants)
• Oak fern (less common)
• Rib fern (one of the few locations in Württemberg outside the Black Forest),
• bracken
• Bladder fern
• Brown-stemmed spleen fern .

Also noteworthy is the pine bear moss, which rarely occurs outside the Black Forest in Württemberg, and the winter horsetail in the lowest part of the gorge .
