Nonnenkuhle natural monument

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nonnenkuhle natural monument with an area of ​​0.62  hectares is located north of Heddinghausen in the urban area of Marsberg ( Hochsauerlandkreis ). The area was designated as a natural monument (ND) in 2008 with the Marsberg landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis . The ND is bordered to the east by the Rotes Land nature reserve and is otherwise surrounded by the open spaces around Heddinghausen nature reserve.

description

The landscape plan explains the ND: “The eastern edge of the red sandstone ceiling, which rests on the older Zechstein limestone between Leitmar / Heddinghausen and the“ Platte ”, leads to the formation of a swallow hole typical of the landscape with the protected object demarcated here . A small flowing body of water, which forms a narrow grassland valley in the northwestern field, seeps into a striking, elongated hollow with entry into the limestone subsoil. The hollow form is grazed relatively intensively; only one group of bushes on the farm road to the east enhances this geological feature in terms of landscape. Morphologically, the valley that "ends" here continues to the south-east into the overlying dry valley between Gut Forst and Canstein. The geological peculiarity could be enhanced ecologically and for the landscape by an intensification of use of the delimited area. "

Protection purpose

The landscape plan explains the protection purpose: "All the following natural monuments represent individual creations of nature that are in need of protection for scientific, geographical and geological reasons as well as because of their rarity and peculiarity." In the ND, "all actions are prohibited that lead to destruction, damage or Change of the protected property. In particular, it is forbidden:
