nature

In addition to its cultural and historical importance, it is also worthy of protection from a nature conservation point of view, since the plant communities that exist here, mainly dry sandy heaths and pedunculate oak-birch forests, are becoming increasingly rare. The purpose of the protection is to protect these plant communities and to develop them as habitats for species and communities in need of protection.

Other protected areas

The area is also designated as FFH area 172. In the south there is a heather area that is part of the Dutch nature reserve Het Springendal .
