Litschauer Ländchen
The Litschauer Ländchen is a basin in the northernmost Waldviertel in Lower Austria , named after the municipality of Litschau .
It coincides with the catchment area of the Reissbach , a right tributary of the Lainsitz that flows into the Czech Republic, and includes about the northern third of the Gmünd district and extends to Heidenreichstein and Schrems. The geological substructure is formed by Eisgarner granite , Weinsberg granite and Wolfsegger granite and, in the west, also diorite, paragneiss and tertiary sands. The wide, morphologically scarcely formed valleys of the Reissbach, Romaubach and Braunau have a largely natural course with oxbow lakes , meadows , floodplains, silting areas, alder forests as well as large sedge and small sedge reeds, and also repeatedly flow through fish ponds and are thus interrupted in their continuum.
The numerous moors that occur increasingly in the west are also characteristic. These are often former peat extraction sites that have regenerated themselves in different ways over the years and are now important habitats for countless animal and plant species. The Rottalmoos is under nature protection, but others like the Schremser Moor, the Haslauer Moor and the Bummermoos are no less interesting.
The Litschauer Ländchen is thus a habitat for numerous endangered species that require a wide variety of wet habitats, which is further favored by its location near the border and extensive cultivation.
