Protected landscape component hollow forms in the Obermarsberg forest

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The protected landscape component hollow forms in the Obermarsberg Forest with an area of ​​1.21  ha is located north of Leitmar in the urban area of Marsberg . The area was designated in 2008 with the Marsberg landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis as a protected landscape component (LB). The LB is surrounded by the Rotes Land nature reserve .

description

The landscape plan explains the LB: “In a mixed stand of beech and oak in the Obermarsberg city forest, there is a spring stream that seeps away after a course of less than 200 m in a swallow hole on the border between red sandstone and Zechstein limestone. The spring zone is formed from a relatively large, soaky, forest area enriched with buckthorn bushes, which was included in the delimitation here. About in the middle of the adjoining body of water, two deep, almost round hollow forms stand out on the left, the bottom of which is well below the level of the stream. Whether these are old pings (which are also common in other parts of the “Boles Kump” and the city forest) or natural sinkholes cannot yet be conclusively assessed. In all cases, however, they represent either a culturally-historical or geological-geographical interesting testimony, which - especially in the overall context of “source area / hollow forms / swallow hole” - appears in need of preservation. As can already be seen from the well-developed Schwalgloch, the hollow forms are latently endangered by deposits. "

Protection purpose

The designation as LB took place:

  • To maintain, develop or restore the efficiency and functionality of the natural balance
  • For revitalizing, structuring or maintaining the townscape and landscape
  • To ward off harmful effects

Like the other LBs in the landscape plan area, the LB represents an outstanding habitat for the ecological performance of the natural balance. It also serves as an element that structures and animates the landscape. The designation serves to ward off real or potential harmful effects through the removal of plants, relief or water changes, etc.
