description

In the species-rich deciduous forest area , the only larger population of moist oak-hornbeam forests in the Weser and Leinebergland in Lower Saxony grows on fresh to moist calcareous soils . There are transitions to woodruff or lime beech forests as well as small areas of alder and ash swamp forests. The image of a historically grown cultural landscape is conveyed by the adjacent grassland areas . The area is a habitat for rare plants and animals.
