The Booser-Musbacher Ried areas are a nature reserve (NSG number 4.176) and two landscape protection areas (LSG numbers 4.36.068 and 4.37.038) in the Baden-Württemberg districts of Ravensburg and Sigmaringen, which were designated by ordinance of January 11, 1991 by the Tübingen regional council in Germany .

history

The Musbacher Ried and the Booser Ried belonged to different administrative units as early as the 19th century : the Booser Ried to the Oberamt Saulgau , today part of the Sigmaringen district, the Musbacher Ried to the Oberamt Waldsee , today part of the Ravensburg district.

Between Boos and Musbach, the whole valley was covered by a lake in the 18th century , which was drained around the turn of the century. What remains is the Booser See, also called “ Booser Seele ” in older literature .

location

The approximately 340 hectares large protected areas Booser-Musbacher Ried include natural area for Upper Swabian hills . They are about five and a half kilometers southeast of Bad Saulgau city center in the districts of Hochberg and Lampertsweiler (to Bad Saulgau) and the corridors Geigelbach and Musbach (to Ebersbach-Musbach), at an average altitude of 596 m above sea level. NN .

Protection purpose

The nature reserve serves to preserve the diverse reed, which is characterized by a wide variety of vegetation types, as a habitat and retreat for numerous endangered or endangered animal and plant species. The main purpose of protection is

1. the conservation of particularly protected types of vegetation such as

- Successional forests (tiered forest stands with a high proportion of hardwood, created from natural succession after peat cutting or on former litter meadows),

- damp bushes on permanently wet locations,

- peat cuttings and open water areas and their silting zones,

- Seggenrieder, reed communities, tall herbaceous meadows, wet meadows, with their typical and increasingly endangered animal and plant species

2. Securing the Booser See and the former loam pit Rieden. Their open water areas and silting societies are retreats for endangered birds (breeding birds, migrants) and amphibian species

3. the preservation of the dead ice channel and the dead ice hole (nature reserve parts No. 2 and 3) as geological documents with scientific significance

4. the maintenance and partial extensification of wet meadows as a buffer zone (buffer zone 1) for the protection of botanically and zoologically valuable areas

5. The improvement of the ecological situation of the protected area through suitable maintenance measures

The conservation area serves

1. the preservation of the grassland belt, which is naturally connected to the nature reserve, on boggy or boggy soil as a breeding, resting and foraging biotope for bird species dependent on wet meadows and as a buffer zone around the actual core area (buffer zone 2),

2. the avoidance of negative influences on the nature reserve through disruptive changes in the environment or changes in the natural balance,

3. the preservation of the beauty and uniqueness of the landscape shaped by the alternation of open meadow areas, forests, wet bushes and distinctive individual trees as well as securing the recreational function.

Partner protected areas

The Booser-Musbacher Ried protected areas are part of the FFH area “ Wetlands around Altshausen ” (SG-No. 8023341).
