description

The nature reserve was created as a post-mining landscape . It covers around 1785 hectares in the Elbe-Elster and Oberspreewald-Lausitz districts ; 710 hectares of the nature reserve are designated as a total reserve. A small part of the area, approx. 24 ha, was placed under protection as NSG Grünhaus as early as 1939 .

Dump soils that are poor in nutrients and pollutants provide ideal habitats for a large number of endangered species in the newly emerging natural landscape for decades to come. In 2001, more than 1300 species were counted in one day. The area of ​​this post-mining landscape has been left to natural succession since 2006.

The nature reserve overlaps in parts with the approx. 2000 hectare nature paradise Grünhaus , which is owned by the NABU Foundation for National Natural Heritage .
