Protection purpose

The Kahler Asten ski area conservation area was designated as one of 13 type C conservation areas, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland. As in the other 12 type C landscape protection areas in the Winterberg landscape planning area, there is a ban on converting grassland and fallow grassland into arable land or other forms of use in the LSG ski area Kahler Asten . Planting Christmas trees, ornamental branches and tree nursery cultures is also prohibited.

On the protected ski slopes, use as a ski slope has led to the establishment of poor grassland with transitions to dwarf shrub heather. According to the landscape plan, a designation as a nature reserve was waived because of the decades of winter sports use , although the area contains protected biotopes according to § 30 BNatSchG .

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.
