Nature conservation and protection areas in the Unterallgäu district
The following article deals with nature conservation and protected areas in the Central and Upper Swabian district of Unterallgäu .
geography
The district is centrally located in the administrative region of Swabia in Bavaria . The southern district area belongs to the pronounced grassland area of the pre-alpine hill country , the northern part to the Iller- Lech plateau of the Swabian-Bavarian hill country. The district has two border rivers with the Iller in the west and the Wertach in the east , which roughly indicate the boundaries of the area.
Designated protection areas
Natural park
The Augsburg-Westliche Wälder nature park , which extends to Türkheim in the south and includes the perennial area, is around a tenth of its area in the district.
Nature reserves
In order to preserve ecologically valuable areas and to protect endangered animal species, the district has endeavored for years to buy up areas worthy of protection, to maintain them in a near-natural state and thus to secure the ecological balance in the sub-regions. The nature reserve is the strictest form of protection measure. In the district of Unterallgäu are under nature protection:
- The Benninger Ried (between Benningen and Memmingen ) with an area of approx. 22 ha. It was placed under nature protection in 1939.
- The Hundsmoor with an area of 21 ha.
- The Pfaffenhauser Moos with an area of approx. 51 ha.
- The Kettershauser Ried with an area of over 40 ha.
Landscape protection areas
In the landscape protection areas, the special character of the landscape must not be changed. The following eight areas in the district are under landscape protection:
- On both sides of the Iller (from the Oberallgäu district border to Lautrach) 800 ha.
- Lower Iller near Kardorf (from Lautrach to the city limits of Memmingen) 80 ha.
- South and east of the Iller (west from Volkratshofen to Buxheim ) 170 ha.
- Illerauen north of Buxheim (from Buxheim to the district border Neu-Ulm ) 400 ha.
- Mühlbachtal (south of Wolfertschwenden ) 700 ha.
- Hochfirst (west of Erisried ) 600 ha.
