Elpetal landscape protection area below Elpe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Elpetal landscape protection area below Elpe with 16.6  hectares is partly within Elpe or north of the village in the urban area of Olsberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis . The area was designated as a landscape protection area (LSG) by the Hochsauerlandkreis in 2004 with the Olsberg landscape plan . The river Elpe and the floodplain are located in the LSG . To the north is the Elpe and Bremecketal nature reserve . The LSG landscape protection area Elpetal below Elpe has been designated as a type C landscape planning area, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the urban area of ​​Winterberg. As in the other type C landscape protection areas in the Olsberg landscape planning area, this LSG prohibits the conversion of grassland and fallow land into arable land or other forms of use. First afforestation and the creation of Christmas tree crops is prohibited. A maximum of two years of arable use within twelve years is permitted, provided that this prepares the renewal of the sward. This is considered an extended nursing shift . In the case of extended care changes , a minimum distance of five meters from the central water bed must be maintained.

Protection purpose

The designation was made to supplement the nature reserve designation in the Olsberg floodplains to create a network of open land biotopes so that animals and plants can keep migrating and spreading, and to preserve the occurrence of protected bird species and protect species-rich plant communities.

According to the landscape plan, the unobstructed streams such as the Elpe represent outstanding refuge and networking biotopes. The preservation of grassland in the LSG also serves to protect groundwater and rivers, as well as to protect biotopes and species .
