Description of the area
The protected landscape area, designated in 1965, covers an area of 20.4 square kilometers and is located west of the center of Friedeburg .
The name "Stroot" is Low German and means swamp bushes. It was first mentioned in 1493 by Eggerik Beninga as up den stroet . A sheep farm was operated in today's forest area until 1808.
Protection purpose
The general purpose of protection is the "avoidance of damage to the forest ecosystem, impairment of the enjoyment of nature or the disfigurement of the landscape".
