Eschenberg landscape protection area

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eschenberg landscape protection area with 17.5  hectares is located south of Niedersfeld in the urban area of Winterberg . The area was in 2008 by the council of Hochsauerlandkreises with the landscape plan Winterberg as a conservation area designated (LSG).

In the LSG there are large, acidic, poor grass areas with red fescue meadows, bristle grass lawns, dry heather and broom bushes. A large part of the area are legally protected biotopes according to § 30 BNatSchG . There are also individual trees in the LSG. The area actually intended for designation as a nature reserve became an LSG due to its partial use as the Eschenberg ski area .

The Eschenberg landscape protection area was designated as one of 13 type C landscape protection areas, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the urban area of ​​Winterberg. As in the other 12 landscape protection areas of type C in the Winterberg landscape planning area, there is a ban on converting grassland and fallow land into arable land or other forms of use in the LSG valley system of the Elpe . 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 Winterberg floodplains to create a network of open-land biotopes so that animals and plants retain the opportunity to migrate and spread, and to preserve the occurrence of protected bird species and protect species-rich plant communities.
