Landscape protection area Sorpe Valley with side valleys
The landscape protection area Sorpetal with side valleys with 82.4 hectares lies in the urban area of Schmallenberg . The area was in 2008 by the council of Hochsauerlandkreises with the landscape plan Schmallenberg Southeast as a conservation area designated (LSG). The LSG consists of 23 areas. These are valley areas of the Sorpe and side valleys. The LSG goes as far as the houses in the hamlets of Niedersorpe , Mittelorpe , Obersorpe and Rehsiepen in the valley floor. The grassland on the slopes is part of the landscape protection area hillside grassland in the Sorpe valley .
The Sorpetal landscape protection area with side valleys was designated as one of 58 type C landscape protection areas, 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.
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 can keep migrating and spreading, and to preserve the occurrence of protected bird species and protect species-rich plant communities.
