Landscape protection area Schwormecke and section of the Rarbach to the north and west of Sögtrop with adjacent lean grassland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The landscape protection area Schwormecke and section of the Rarbach to the north and west of Sögtrop with adjacent lean grassland with a size of 19  hectares is located in the urban area of Schmallenberg . The area was in 2008 by the council of Hochsauerlandkreises with the landscape plan Schmallenberg Northwest as a conservation area designated (LSG). The LSG consists of two sub-areas. The LSG goes as far as the Sögtrop houses . These are the meadow valley areas of the Rarbach and the Schwormecke, and also an area of ​​poor grassland west of Sögtrop. The lean grassland, wet grassland in the floodplain and the brooks are a legally protected biotope according to § 30 BNatSchG.

Protection purpose

The designation was made to supplement the nature reserve designation in the Schmallenberg 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.

Legal regulations

The landscape protection area Schwormecke and the section of the Rarbach to the north and west of Sögtrop with adjacent sloping grassland was designated as one of 58 landscape protection areas of type C, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the urban area of ​​Schmallenberg. As in the other type C landscape protection areas in Schmallenberg, the LSG prohibits the conversion of grassland and fallow grassland into arable land or other forms of use. 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. In the Schmallenberg urban area there are also nature conservation areas of type A (general landscape protection) and type B (outskirts, landscape character) with other, lesser requirements.
