The Vilgensee landscape protection area is 1.6 kilometers west of Dettum and 4.1 kilometers east of Ahlum in the Wolfenbüttel district in Lower Saxony . The 134 hectare protected area with the eponymous Weiher Vilgensee was declared a landscape protection area in 1984.

The protected landscape area lies between agricultural fields and meadows. It is a contiguous area with field trees. The Glue Riede stream flows through the area, along with trees on the banks of which woody banks grow, alongside individual trees and connected groups of trees and bushes. A meadow orchard in the northeast of the protected area enriches the diverse wooded population.

Tall trees and linden trees rise around the Vilgensee. Numerous tall trees around the lake were uprooted in a storm in 2016, so that access to the eponymous pond in the nature reserve had to be closed. Since 2018, the pond, which is fed by a spring, has been made accessible again with funding from the Asse Future Fund.

history

The protected area in the northwest (August 2018)

The area had been protected since 1948 and was declared a landscape protection area in 1984. It is assumed that the Weiher Vilgensee was an old Germanic spring sanctuary. Around 1800 the pond was called Villisee and was 1 1/4 acres in size. Since a wind farm is planned to the west of the reserve, a citizens' initiative fears that the life of the birds in the nature reserve will be impaired. A red kite nests in the reserve .

Others

In summer, hikers and cyclists rest on the benches on the east side of the Vilgensee pond, as the tall trees on the pond provide shade

The author Uwe Backmann from Wolfenbüttel wrote a crime story in the series “Detektei Lessing” with the title “Die Tote vom Vilgensee”.
