Landscape protection area Offenlandmulde Grafschaft - Almert
The nature reserve Offenlandmulde Grafschaft - Almert with 242 hectares is located in the urban area of Schmallenberg .

The LSG is one of 71 landscape protection areas of type B, outskirts, landscape character in the urban area of Schmallenberg. In the urban area, there are also two type A landscape protection areas (general landscape protection) and 58 type C landscape protection areas (meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland) with different requirements.

European bison in the nature reserve
In December 2017, the bison herd of the bison wilderness stayed at the Rothaarsteig in the LSG around Almert and ensured that Almert appeared in the media. The bison grazed on site and also went to the silage stored there . This also resulted in the crossing of the county road between Grafschaft and Oberkirchen. A speed limit of 50 km / h was set to prevent collisions. On December 19, 2017, a car collided with a bison crossing the road. There was only a slight sheet metal damage. The bison also survived and ran away. The bisons at Almert attracted onlookers. Numerous photos and videos were taken.
In January 2019, bisons were again in the LSG.
Protection purpose
The designation was carried out to ensure the diversity and uniqueness of the landscape in the vicinity of the localities and the old agricultural priority areas by keeping it open.

How is the LSG into the other protected areas of type B in Schmallenberg prohibition of afforestation and tree - Schmuckreisig- and nursery crops to apply.
