Protected landscape area Lower Mettmecketal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nature reserve Lower Mettmecketal with an area of ​​12  hectares is located in the urban area of Sundern and in the Hochsauerlandkreis . The area was designated in 1993 with the Sundern landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis for the first time with the name Lower Mettmecketal landscape protection area north of Gut Schnellenhaus as a landscape protection area (LSG) with an area of ​​10.88 hectares. When the Sundern landscape plan was reorganized, the LSG was re-identified and enlarged with a new name. The LSG was designated as a type C landscape protection area , meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland. The LSG is directly adjacent to Landesstrasse 686 and Gut Schnellenhaus. The LSG is part of the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature park .

description

The LSG comprises grassland areas in the Mettmecke valley floor . The Mettmecke has a natural wood-lined stream and has scouring, gravel banks, steep and flat banks. On small embankment edges, in places also along plot boundaries and on embankments, small trees and hedges grow. Here and there the grassland is more wet, for example in front of some embankments and partly near the stream.

Protection purpose

The designation was made to secure and maintain the natural suitability for recreation and the efficiency of the natural balance against the diverse civilizational demands on nature and landscape. The LSG serves to supplement or buffer zone function of the more strictly protected parts of this planning area by protecting their surroundings from influences that could reduce the outstanding value of these nature reserves and protected objects and ensuring the coherence and implementation of the European nature reserve system Natura 2000 .

Legal regulations

As in the other type C landscape protection areas in the urban area, the LSG prohibits the construction of structures. Construction projects for horticulture, agriculture and forestry are exempt from the ban. The Lower Nature Conservation Authority can issue exceptional permits for buildings of all kinds. As in the other type B landscape protection areas in Sundern, the LSG prohibits first afforestation and the creation of Christmas trees , ornamental branches and tree nursery cultures . Grassland and fallow grassland may not be converted into arable land or other uses.
