The nature of the landscape of the protected area is essentially shaped by the valleys of the Kleine Lauter and the Blau . It covers the entire course of both rivers to the urban area of Ulm. The floodplains of both bodies of water are largely free of forests and characterized by grassland. The valley flanks are characterized by open grasslands and juniper heaths or near-natural forests and interspersed with numerous rock formations.

In the Arnegger Ried there are remains of a transitional and vibrating lawn bog.

Both streams are habitat for several strictly protected species such as the brook lamprey and bullhead .
