description

Venn regeneration areas on the Hoscheider Venn, and potential Venn regeneration areas on the Hoscheider Venn

The forests that used to stand here were largely felled or fell victim to a wind break . The area concerns the area between the nature reserve Hoscheider Venn and Wollscheider Venn. Some areas have been reforested with spruce . In the areas that have not been afforested, pipe grass dominates , as well as occasional broom and bell heather . The eastern area is left to natural succession and now has extensive birch and spruce stands. On the edge of the Wollscheider Venn there are two silted-up, heavily wet pingos with cotton grass and Schnabelseggenried . On unused forest roads has savings engined rush and Genista anglica settled. Some drainage ditches are still to be dammed. The area should be further developed to complement the existing Venn nature reserves, with a greater degree of waterlogging and the elimination of bushes .

Oak and birch forest southeast of Roetgen on federal road 258

In the area you can find oaks with approximately 100-year-old trees and also birch forests. In spruce forests there are alder stands in some places. The oaks have wrapped themselves out of a coppice, which can be recognized by the multi-stemmed structure. The herb layer consists predominantly of bracken , with Molinia dominating in small damp areas . A small swelling area is colored reddish. Dam-like structures, like the surrounding area, run through the forest in the western part of the area. Larger sphagnum cushions are present in several places, a Molinia Betula forest occurs locally , in the western part of the area there are two silted up pingos with pipe grass and moor heather vegetation .

Wollerscheider and Hoscheider Venn

A typical remnant of the Venn landscape can be found here, with all the biotope types of the High Fens , such as large raised bog communities. The Wollerscheider Venn slopes slightly to the north. The pingos are filled with extremely nutrient-poor water and overgrown with typical raised bog communities. Narrow-leaved cotton grass , bog lily , locally also round-leaved sundew , crowberry and white schnabelried form closed stands. Fever clover dominates a bog area . At the slightly elevated edge zones, bell heather is joined by peat moss trees, dwarf shrub heaths with bogus berries and extensive wet pipe grass heaths . On the drier ridges of the terrain between the pingos, whistle-grass wet heaths dominate with interspersed bristle grass lawns and common heather stands . At some point the area begins to overgrown with pine stands and larger shrub stands mostly made up of downy birch , ear willow and gray willow . directly to the west is the Hoscheider Venn. The core area is a strongly degenerated wet heather-raised bog complex with small areas of peat moss cushions. In some pingos are the characteristic bog plants such as cranberry and wool grade. The spruce trees have now been removed. There is a moor birch forest along highway 114. Due to its very well-developed, extremely endangered plant communities, the entire area is of outstanding ecological importance.

Protection purpose

The habitats for many plants, fungi and animals in NRW that are endangered according to the Red List are to be protected . The objectives are the conservation and development of the following natural habitats in accordance with Annex I of the Habitats Directive:

  • Bog forests
  • Moist heather areas with bell heather
  • Transitional and swinging lawn bogs

These biotope types to be protected can be found in this area: wet and humid grassland, moors, swamps , bog and quarry forest, dwarf shrub heather and springs.
