The project area is located in the Reiherbachtal near Nienover and is completely fenced. It covers an area of ​​171 ha and has been grazed by Heck cattle and Exmoor horses all year round since 2000. The aim is to enable natural development processes like those that took place in former hat forests . The aim is to create a landscape rich in species and valued as a local recreation area.
