The FFH area Großer Heuberg and Donautal is located in the south of Baden-Württemberg and is part of the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas . It was designated in 2015 through the amalgamation of three already existing FFH areas by the Freiburg Regional Council.

location

The large Heuberg and Danube Valley protected area of around 8,662 hectares is located in the natural areas of Baar , Southwestern Alb foreland , Hegaualb , Hohe Schwabenalb and Baaralb and Upper Danube Valley . The three sub-areas are located in the communities Balgheim , Bärenthal , Böttingen , Bubsheim , Buchheim , Deilingen , Denkingen , Dürbheim , Egesheim , Fridingen an der Donau , Gosheim , Gunningen , Hausen ob Verena , Irndorf , Kolbingen , Königsheim , Mahlstetten , Mühlheim an der Danube , Neuhausen ob Eck , Reichenbach am Heuberg , Renquishausen , Rietheim-Weilheim , Seitingen-Oberflacht , Spaichingen , Tuttlingen , Wehingen and Wurmlingen in the district of Tuttlingen , Beuron in the district of Sigmaringen and Nusplingen and Ratshausen in the Zollernalb district .

description

The nature of the landscape of the protected area is essentially shaped by the Great Heuberg with its lean mountain and lowland hay meadows, juniper heaths and grasslands as well as the steep, rocky slopes of the Albtraufs. Another landscape-defining element is the breakthrough valley of the Upper Danube. In the west, the Zeugenberg Hohenkarpfen and the Dürbheimer Moos belong to the FFH area.

history

The protected area was created by amalgamating the original FFH areas 7918-341 "Hohenkarpfen", 7918-342 "Südwestlicher Großer Heuberg" and 7919-341 "Danube valley and plateaus from Tuttlingen to Beuron". These have existed since 2005.
