At the same time, due to their predominant location in the wooded planning area, the open floodplains have a structuring and invigorating effect on the landscape and thus contribute to safeguarding its diversity, individuality and beauty. Furthermore, (extensive) grassland areas should be preserved, which are of particular importance for the protection of biotopes and species. "
