Landscape protection area Postwiese and lean grassland near Neuastenberg
The landscape protection area Postwiese and lean grassland near Neuastenberg with 46.93 hectares is located around Neuastenberg or a sub-area south of Lenneplätze 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) Type C. The LSG consists of four sub-areas. The LSG is for the most part a legally protected biotope according to § 30 BNatSchG . Two sub-areas have largely belonged to the FFH area Bergwiesen bei Winterberg (DE 4717-305) since 2004 . Further sub-areas of the FFH area are located in other areas of Winterberg. The area actually intended for designation as a nature reserve became the LSG due to its partial use as a Postwiesen ski area . In the LSG there are extensively used mountain meadows with mane use. There are almost only montane mountain meadows in the LSG. The LSG partly borders directly on the nature reserve Bergwiesen near Neuastenberg (Winterberg) .
Legal framework
The landscape protection area Postwiese and lean grassland near Neuastenberg was designated as one of 13 landscape protection areas of type C, 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.
