The Dünscheder Heide is a 1.35 hectare nature reserve in the town of Attendorn in the Olpe district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located on the north-western outskirts of the Attendorn district of Röllecken and north of Dünschede . It was temporarily secured in 2003 when the Attendorn - Heggen-Helden landscape plan was drawn up and designated by the district council in 2006 with landscape plan no. 3 Attendorn - Heggen-Helden . The NSG is one of ten sub-areas of the fauna-flora-habitat area, beech forests, limestone semi -dry grasslands and rocks south of Finnentrop (DE-4813-301).

Area description

The NSG is located in the middle of the open fields north of Dünschede on a flat ridge within the carbonate-shaped Attendorn-Elsper limestone sinks. The Dünscheder Heide is a biotope complex made up of lime grasslands, oak-rich woods and oak-hornbeam forest. The limestone grassland lies in the middle of the NSG on a gently sloping slope below a mixed oak forest field wood. There are groups of shrubs and young individual trees in the limestone grassland. The poor grassland of the Dünscheder Heide is one of the most species-rich and valuable in the Attendorn-Elsper limestone region. Because of the maintenance of the NSG, there are numerous Red List plant species in the area. Orchids in the NSG are large two-leaf and stately orchids . On the slope below the limestone grass there is a multi-shoot oak-hornbeam forest with a warm, dry expression, interspersed with moss-rich blobs of rock. The oak-hornbeam forest on the rock is also very species-rich.

The specialist information system of the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection North Rhine-Westphalia (LANUV) explains the NSG: Despite its modest size, the NSG Dünscheder Heide is an outstanding biotope element within the FFH area consisting of various sub-areas "Kalkbeuchenwälder, Kalkhalbtrockenrasen und Kalkfelsen Südl. Finnentrop ".

Reason for expulsion

According to the landscape plan, it was designated for four reasons.

  • For the preservation, production and restoration of supraregional important habitats and habitats of rare and endangered as well as landscape typical animal and plant species within one of the most species-rich and floristically important limestone semi -arid grasslands in the Attendorn-Elsper limestone basin. In particular to protect the semi-arid limestone grass there and the hornbeam forest on a warm, dry location.
  • For the preservation, creation and restoration of biotopes and the occurrence of wild animal and plant species that are listed in Annexes I and II of the Habitats Directive . In particular from Annex I of the Habitats Directive biotope Trespen-Schwingel dry limestone lawn .
  • For scientific, natural history, geographical and geological reasons,
  • Because of the rarity, peculiarity and the outstanding beauty of the area.

The two reasons below are listed for all designations of nature reserves in NRW.

Hazards in the nature reserve

In the NSG, according to the specialist information system of the LANUV, the hazards identified were fertilizer drift from neighboring areas into the NSG, an isolation effect and bushes as undesirable succession.

Planned protective measures

According to the specialist information system of the LANUV, a buffer zone is planned as protective measures, vegetation controls are to be carried out and the area is still not to be cultivated.

Habitat types and plant species

Three habitat types worthy of protection were identified in the NSG. These are near-natural dry lime lawns and their stages of shrubbery (gentian-schiller grass lawns , festuco-brometalia) with stands of remarkable orchids with a size of 0.65 ha, bedstraw-oak-hornbeam forest (Galio-Carpinetum) with a size of 0 , 59 ha and protected and endangered field trees with a size of 0.20 ha.
