location

The nature reserve is located in the north-western part of the municipality of Am Mellensee, on the Gadsdorf district and a very small part of it extends to the Christinendorf district (town of Trebbin ). It comprises several small, deeply muddy meltwater valleys of the Brandenburg stage of the Vistula Glaciation, branching out between moraine islands (including the Gadsdorf Höllberg) and valley sand plains . The area belongs to the Brandenburg Heath and Lake District in the natural division of the North German lowlands . Regionally, the area belongs to the "Nuthe-Notte-Niederung".

Vegetation and water

In the richly structured fen area, peat peat has recently created several eutrophic bodies of water and small bodies of water, including the somewhat larger Gadsdorf peat lake. Besides the little affected marsh and swamp forests there are eutrophic wet and wet meadows and tall herb communities in the conveyance areas. In the east of the nature reserve, small-scale cutting reeds, salt marshes and chalk-rich marshmallow meadows intermingle in a narrow space . Characteristic and in part specially protected plant species grow here, such as swamp heart leaf ( Parnassia palustris ), dyer's nip ( Serratula tinctoria ), creeping willow ( Salix repens ), beach trident ( Triglochin maritima ), marsh orchid ( Orchis palustris ) and Flesh-colored orchid ( Dactylorhiza incarnata ). The endangered great fire butterfly ( Lycaena dispar ) also occurs in the area.

Protection purpose

The protection purpose of the nature reserve is:

"1. the preservation, restoration and development of the habitats of wild plant communities, in particular communities of natural eutrophic lakes, deciduous forests, swamp forests, willow bushes, reeds, wet meadows, moors and inland salt areas as well as dry grasslands that are threatened ;
2. the preservation and development of the habitats of wild plant species, including species particularly protected within the meaning of Section 10, Paragraph 2, No. 10 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act, in particular tongue buttercup ( Ranunculus lingua L.), swamp heart leaf (Parnassia palustris L.) , marsh water spring ( Hottonia palustris L.), Karthaeuser carnation ( Dianthus carthusianorum L.), marsh Rauwolfia ( Calla pallustris L.), thrift ( Armeria maritima ssp. elongata ), sand immortelle ( Helichrysum arenarium ), orchids such as the Stiff-leaved orchid ( Dactylorhiza incarnata ), broad-leaved orchid ( Dactylorhiza majalis ), marsh orchid ( Orchis palustris ) and sphagnum moss ( Sphagnum fallax );
3. the preservation and development of the area as a habitat and retreat as well as a potential center for re-expansion of wild animal species, in particular mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and butterflies, including those that are specially and strictly protected in accordance with Section 10 (2) nos. 10 and 11 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act Species, for example the breeding bird fauna typical of well-structured forest locations and wetlands, in particular common snipe ( Gallinago gallinago ), kingfisher ( Alcedo atthis ), crane ( Grus grus ), teal ( Anas crecca ), woodcock ( Scolopax rusticola ) and wryneck ( Jynx torquilla );
4. The preservation of a near-natural, extraordinarily structured landscape section of the Nuthe-Notte lowland because of its rarity, diversity and special character. "
