It protects a flow moor in the Muldeaue on the edge of the Mosigkauer Heide, on the steep slope of which it borders in the west, fed by slope water . The area is no longer flooded due to the dikes in the hollow . It is predominantly characterized by near-natural forest communities, for which moor birch-alder quarry forest , black alder quarry forest and buckthorn bushes are characteristic. In the eastern area there is a common oak-hornbeam forest and a small area of hardwood floodplain forest . The forest areas have a high proportion of dead wood .
In the herbaceous layer of the forests grow u. a. Shivering grass harrow , medium larkspur , nodding pearl grass and forest rennet . Peat moss , bell heather , cranberries and round-leaved sundew grow in small, open bog areas . There are also small sedge beds with swamp fern and swamp violet . In the trenches in the nature reserve, types of water hose such as the small water hose and water spring can be found.
The nature reserve is rich in songbirds , of which around 50 species have been identified, including z. B. Feldschwirl and Fitis warbler , as well as various warbler species . Furthermore, the nature reserve buzzard , honey buzzard , red kite and kestrel as well as green , black , great spotted , medium and small woodpecker offer a suitable habitat.
