Heidemoor up'm Piepenbrink

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heidemoor up'm Piepenbrink is a natural monument in the area of ​​the Paderborn district of Sande . It consists of two parts separated by a dirt road.

Location and description

The natural monument is located in the middle of the Sander Bruch at 102 m above sea level and has an area of ​​about 0.75 ha. It is framed by pine forests.

The Heidemoor up'm Piepenbrink - Ost is now dominated by extensive marsh grass lawns.

The eastern part consists of a depression surrounded by flat dune waves, in which there used to be a large heather pond . This dried up completely after a land consolidation carried out in the 1970s and gradually overgrown with pipe grass ( Molinia caerulea ). Since then, extensive marsh grass lawns with only a few floristic features have dominated the picture. Today there is only a larger area of ​​water available in the winter months.

The western part is a heather moor largely made up of pines ( Pinus sylvestris ), in which the pipe grass is also aspect-forming. In 1991 bell heather and narrow-leaved cotton grass could still be observed in some damp depressions .

Flora and vegetation

Numerous rare plant species have been identified in the area, including:

fauna

The moor frog ( Rana arvalis ) spawns in the area . In addition, a total of 17 dragonfly species were observed, including the red-listed species of the southern rush damsel ( Lestes barbarus ), spotted darter ( Sympetrum flaveolum ) and lesser moss damsel ( Leucorrhinia dubia ). The Heideweiher used to be a breeding ground teals -Paares.

Others

Also in Sander Bruch, just a few hundred meters as the crow flies, is the Weckers Heideteich natural monument .
