The landscape protection area Schafberg – Salzkammergutseen is a protected area in the eastern Flachgau (district Salzburg-Umgebung) in the state of Salzburg .

Geography and protection

The protected area comprises the Salzburg part of “the Schafberg massif and the Wolfgangsee including the Krottensee area” (with the Zeppezau ) “as well as the lakeside areas of the Mondsee and Attersee lakes ” ( Oberburgau and Unterburgau ), “the Zinkenbach peninsula and the Meadows adjoining this in the south-east up to the edge of the forest reaching in the south-east “at the foot of the Bleckwand . In the Schafberg area, the Suissensee and the Mittersee , the latter exactly on the state border, also belong to it.

"Excluded from the landscape protection area are a sawmill in Abersee and a settlement to the west of it" ( Abersee with Langgassen ), "the 'Schnabelreitersiedlung-Labschneider'" ( Letten-Labschneider ) " on the Ache between Mondsee and Attersee" ( Seeache ) " and the villages in the area of St. Gilgen and Strobl , which have now been closed due to further development, as well as the settlement of Reith ”. The center of Ried on the edge of the protected area is also not included.

The protected area currently (2017) covers 5627.71  hectares .

Within the area are the protected part of the Falkensteinwand landscape  ( GLT 75 ), the natural monument Fels- und Baumpartie am Scharflingerberg  ( NDM 55 ), the protected part of the Feuchtwiesen landscape around the Egelsee Scharfling am Mondsee (GLT 96) and the Burggrabenklamm  (NDM 65) designated as a natural monument. at the Attersee.

The Blinklingmoos near Strobl, which is independently designated as a nature reserve ( NSG 17 ) and biogenetic reserve, does not belong to the landscape protection area and fits in seamlessly. On the Upper Austrian side, the European protected area Mondsee and Attersee ( FFH area , EU04 / AT3117000 ) borders, to which the Seeache also belongs. In Upper Austria, Lake Wolfgang is protected by the ex-lege lake protection system (Upper Austria. NSG, 500 meter zone).

The purpose of protection is "because they have an outstanding natural beauty and are important for the recreation of the population and tourism ." The "delightful location of the pre-alpine lakes at the foot of imposing rock faces and prominent mountain peaks, silting areas, surrounded by grassland, mountain forests and alpine pastures " is emphasized and wasteland ”and the“ natural landscape or near-natural cultural landscape, which is essentially shaped by the Salzkammergut lakes ”(§ 1a LGBl. 54/1981). The prohibitions and requirements are mainly those of the General Landscape  Protection Ordinance (LGBl. 89/1995), i.e. certain bans on building and changing the terrain, but in particular also camping, camping or parking caravans, mobile homes and the like outside of designated spaces.

history

The originally very remote and sparsely populated Wolfgangtal , which was important as a transport route and because of the pilgrimage to St. Wolfgang , was not opened up for summer holidays until the 1830s . In the later 19th century a rapidly increasing construction began, both general urban sprawl and, in particular, prevention of the lakeside for bathing areas.

Originally, with the Salzburger Seenschutzverordnung (LGBl. 61/1957) (among other things) "the strips of land bordering the Aber- or Wolfgangsee, the Attersee, ... the Krottensee, the Mondsee ... were measured in a width of 500 meters from the lakeshore inland". declared to be landscape protection areas ( water protection zone ). With the LGBl. 77/1971, the Mittersee on the Schafberg was added.

In 1981 an explicit landscape protection area was designated ( LSG 46 ; Schafberg-Salzkammergutseen-Landschaftsschutzverordnung , LGBl. 54/1981). In 2003 around 25 hectares were removed from the area (Art. 26 LGBl. 83/2003).
