description
The dirt road between Marsdorf and Medingen is about 1.5 kilometers long, unpaved historic farm road with many curves and a green median. The nature reserve also includes vegetation on the roadsides with various field hedges, bushes, forest and fruit trees.

Debate about protection status
In 2001, the Medingen Association for Local History and Village Development made the first efforts to protect the historic farm road to Marsdorf as an endangered cultural landscape and biotope network . The association was supported by the Großdittmannsdorf local group of the German Nature Conservation Union . Originally, the construction of a protected part of the landscape was planned, but this plan was not supported by the Ottendorf-Okrilla municipal council or by some local politicians in the Weixdorf district of Dresden . After lengthy negotiations with associations and environmental initiatives, the municipality of Ottendorf-Okrilla and the state capital Dresden finally agreed in 2010 that the field path should be protected as a natural monument.
The concrete elaboration of the protection ordinance lasted until 2013, as, among other things, a technical committee established deficiencies in the draft text on the part of the city of Dresden, and there was no urgent need for action on the part of the Ottendorf-Okrilla community for the establishment of the natural monument. In November 2013, the then Lord Mayor of Dresden, Helma Orosz , finally signed the ordinance of the state capital of Dresden establishing the area natural monument “Feldweg Marsdorf – Medingen”.
