The Hohe Burg und Schwarzer See nature reserve is a nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , one kilometer west of Schlemmin . It was set up on February 21, 1939 with an area of 17.4 hectares around the Black Lake and expanded on May 1, 1957 with the Hohen Burg to a size of 110 hectares.
The condition of the area is assessed as good in the beech forest area. The beech forest has been able to develop largely free of use in the last few decades. The moor was only cleared of spruce trees in 1989 and flooded flat. His condition is therefore still unsatisfactory. However, there are already transitions to peat- forming vegetation forms. The areas are part of the FFH area Schlemminer Forests and Small Water Landscape . The Hohe Burg is being investigated as a natural forest reserve.
The nature reserve is well developed by paths. A stick dam over the swinging lawn to the Black Lake enables a moor hike.
In the nature reserve there is a memorial stone in honor of Georg and Hans-Jürgen von Arnswaldt. The two chief forester represented an economically oriented, ecologically oriented silviculture with the inclusion of nature conservation concerns. The 94-meter-high Schlemmin TV tower also stands on the edge of the nature reserve .
history
The areas lie in the glacial terminal moraine landscape . The highest point, the Hohe Burg in the ridge from Eggberg to Langer Berg, reaches a height of 147.4 m above sea level. NHN . The name "High Castle" comes from a presumably early Slavic hill fort that was located there. The Black Lake is the highest lake in Mecklenburg.
The Wiebekingsche map from 1786 shows the Moorniederung as a semi-open landscape. The mountain ranges were covered with forest. The depression, which actually had no outflow, was drained through several ditches in the southwest towards the Warnow. From the 19th century, some areas were afforested with spruce.
Flora and fauna
The silting bog of the lake is 15 hectares in size. It has a pH gradient and is formed as a nutrient-poor peat moss bog in the southern part. Rare and endangered plant species such as round-leaved sundew and moss snake can be found in the bog . In addition, the area offers habitat for marsh frogs , grass snakes , forest lizards , black woodpeckers , Treecreeper , breasted Flycatcher , badgers , several species of bats and numerous other species. Also cranes and gray geese breed here. In the moor there are alder forests that merge into alder and ash forests and, with increasing distance from the moor, into beech forests . Birch - pine - swamp forests emerge towards the lake .
