The FFH area Münsinger Alb is located in the east of Baden-Württemberg and is part of the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas . It was designated in 2015 through the amalgamation of two already existing FFH areas by the Tübingen Regional Council.

location

The approximately 6545 hectare (ha) large protected area Münsinger Alb is located in the natural areas Mittlere Kuppenalb and Mittlereflächealb . The ten sub-areas are located in the communities of Heroldstatt , Laichingen and Schelklingen in the Alb-Donau district , in Münsingen , Bad Urach , Römerstein and in the community-free manor district of Münsingen in the Reutlingen district .

description

The landscape character of the protected area is mainly shaped by the Münsinger Hardt . The area was previously used as a sheep pasture and between 1895 and 2005 as a military training area. This use has resulted in large-scale grassland complexes. Other landscape-defining elements are the deeply cut valley depressions with sloping and ravine forests and the juniper heaths around Münsingen.

history

The protected area was created in 2015 by merging the original FFH areas 7522-342 "Wacholderheiden bei Münsingen" and 7523-341 "Military training area Münsingen". These have existed since 2005.
