The area Heubachniederung, Lavesumer Bruch and Borkenberge is a designated European bird sanctuary (protected area identification DE-4108-401) in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia by ordinance of 2000 of the regional council of Münster .

The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .

location

The six sub-areas of the approximately 51 square kilometers large bird sanctuary “Heubachniederung, Lavesumer Bruch and Borkenberge” are located in the districts of Borken , Coefeld and Recklinghausen . They extend between Velen or the federal motorway 31 in the northwest and the Haltern reservoir in the southeast in the areas of the communities Heiden and Reken and the cities of Coesfeld , Dülmen , Haltern am See and Lüdinghausen .

description

The protected area "Heubach lowlands, Lavesumer Bruch and Borkenberge" is described as an "area complex of several sub-areas with moist and mesophilic grassland, remaining areas of raised and fens, dry heather, sand and open pine-forested dune areas".

It is used by a large number of water, meadow and wading birds as a breeding and resting area. The breeding populations of bluethroat , curlew , teal , pochard , pond warbler , goat milker and little grebe are remarkably high .
