Protection and preservation of the areas as a habitat for the species-rich and endangered plant and animal communities of the grasslands and heather areas as well as the extensively used meadows, which in combination with field trees and hedges for rare bird species, such as. B. blackcocks, partridge and red-backed killer, form an ideal breeding and habitat;
Protection of the heathland against upheaval, afforestation and intensification of use;
Protection of the landscape-defining beauty and uniqueness of this area, which is a special feature in the natural area and, as a relic of the earlier economic methods, is of high national cultural value;
Preservation of the function as a relaxation area with a high level of experience;
Preservation of the mining pits as cultural monuments and the sinkhole as geological monuments.
