The landscape protection area Dachstein – Salzkammergut (also Dachstein and Salzkammergut or Salzkammergut-Ost ) is an extensive protected area in Styria .
location
The landscape protection area is located in the Liezen district in Upper Styria , on the border with Upper Austria and Salzburg .
It encompasses the southern roofing of the Dachstein massif , the Grimmingstock and the southwest flank of the Dead Mountains , and stretches in an arc from the Ennstal in the west around Hinterberg and Ausseerland in the northeast. It thus covers part of the Hallstatt – Dachstein / Salzkammergut cultural landscape ( WHS 806 ) in the west and the southeastern half of the Styrian Salzkammergut in the east .
The protected area includes the municipal areas of Ramsau am Dachstein , Haus , Aich , Gröbming , Mitterberg-Sankt Martin , Pürgg-Trautenfels , Bad Mitterndorf , Pichl-Kainisch , Bad Aussee , Altaussee , Grundlsee and Tauplitz . Of these, the places Gröbming , Oblarn and St. Martin im Ennstal, and Bad Mitterndorf, Tauplitz and most of the other Hinterberger places, as well as Grundlsee with its villages, are completely protected .
history
In 1956 the landscape protection area Dachstein – Salzkammergut ( LSG No. 14 , LGBl. 35/1956) was designated, at that time it still comprised the entire Styrian part of the Dachsteinstock. In 1959 the Styrian Salzkammergut lakes were declared a nature reserve (LGBl. 55/1959, no longer in force in 1997). After several changes, the area was divided up and reorganized as landscape protection area No. 14a ( Dachstein – Salzkammergut , LGBl. 49/1997, also listed as Salzkammergut-Ost ), and the Sarstein –Traun area as No. 14b ( Salzkammergut [ -West ] , LGBl. 48/1997). The Styrian Dachstein plateau had already become a nature reserve in 1991 ( NS 18 , now also FFH area AT2204000 / No. 19 ), as was the core area of the Dead Mountains ( west and east , NS 15/16). A zone in the Hinterberger valley area and in the north-eastern part of the Kemet Mountains from the Wandlkogel to the summit of the Hocheck was left out, because development as a Bad Mitterndorf ski area was under discussion here. December 1997 the UNESCO World Heritage was declared, whereby on the Styrian side the core zone roughly corresponds to the nature reserve, the buffer zone in the Ennstal to the landscape protection area. Area changes in the Tauplitz municipality took place in 2002 (LGBl. 96/2002) and 2014. Before 2014, the landscape protection area comprised 36,220.00 hectares , making it the fifth largest in Styria.
Scope of protection
Like all landscape protection areas, the protection is relatively moderate, the protection goal is "preservation of its particular scenic beauty and uniqueness, its rare characteristics and its recreational value" (§ 1 Z. 1 LGBl. 49/1997).
About half of the protected area comprises coniferous forest (47% of the area), another twelfth mixed or deciduous forest (6% and 2%), one fifth each with grassland (18% and 2½% alpine pastures ) and alpine scrubland ( pine fields , 9%) or wasteland (especially karst , 2½%), the rest are various other types of vegetation, 1.4% are water , the built-up portion remains below 0.2%. The lowest point is the Trautenfelser Schlossteich ( 644 m above sea level ), the highest is the Dachstein summit ( 2995 m above sea level ), which means that the area includes all of Upper Styria's altitude zones.
Adjacent are (from the Dachstein summit, i.e. the three-country corner, clockwise):
- the Upper Austrian European protected area Dachstein ( bird protection and FFH area , AT3101000 / EU02 , also nature reserve N098 ) - the Salzburg Dachstein south-east flank has not yet been explicitly designated
- the Europe and nature reserve Styrian Dachstein plateau (FFH, AT2204000 / No. 19 ; NSa 18 ) - the FFH area is somewhat larger and protrudes a little into the nature reserve around the Miesbodensee
- the landscape protection area Salzkammergut ( -West , LS14b ) - the Ausseer Talraum and Hoher Radling are excluded from protection
- the Europe and nature reserve Totes Gebirge with Altauseersee (FFH and VS, AT2243000 / No. 35 ; NSa 3, 16 and 17 ) - the Tauplitzalm is left out there
- the landscape protection area Warscheneck-Gruppe ( LS15 ) - there is the valley area of the Grimmingbach in between without protection designation
- the Ennstal landscape protection area from Ardning to Pruggern ( LS43 ) with the Ennstaltarme European and nature reserve from Niederstuttern (FFH, AT2240000 / No. 7 ; NSc 54 ) and the Ennstal European protection area between Liezen and Niederstuttern (VS, AT2229002 / No. 41 ; a sub-area is directly in the landscape protection area) - the rest of the Ennstal around Schladming is largely without protection
With the closing of the gap between the Totem Mountains and the Dachstein, the area is part of a protective corridor that today stretches largely closed from Vienna to deep into Switzerland ( Econnect program ).
Embedded in the landscape protection area are:
- the nature reserve north-western part of the municipality of Ramsau am Dachstein ( NSG 02c ) with the extensive natural monuments Dachsteinsüdwand and Dachstein south fall and Edelgrieß glacier ( No. 783 , 784 )
- the natural monuments Schleierfall , Torbachfall , Gradenbachfall ( NDM 789, 788, 813 ) on the southern roof of the Dachsteinstock
- the natural monument Schwefelquelle Hallbachschimmel ( No. 1567 ) above the Salza reservoir
- the nature reserve mouth area Salza in reservoir Pass Stein (Salza reservoir, NSc 17 )
- the nature reserves Rödschitzmoor or Laasenmoor , Obersdorfer Moos and Drei Moorflächen ( NSc 15, 58 and 89 ) and the protected landscape parts Hackenschmiedmoos (Lammer-Moor) and Knoppenmoor ( No. 3, 6 ) around Bad Mitterndorf
- the natural caves Bärenhöhle and Liglloch ( HKNr. 1622/13 , 1622/1 ) and the natural monument Große Grimming- Klachau Gefälsstufe ( Nr. 955 ) in the Tauplitz area
- the natural monument Kuppe des Feuerkogel ( NDM 358 ) and the small European protected area Zlaimmöser-Moore / Weißenbachalm (FFH, AT2224000 / No.18 ) in the Rötelstein area
In addition, the protection of the landscape also includes the entire Salza reservoir and Grundlsee , numerous small alpine lakes and some tree monuments.
