Kahlenberg nature reserve (Sundern)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kahlenberg nature reserve with an area of ​​16.1  hectares is located west of Weninghausen in the city of Sundern and in the Hochsauerlandkreis . The area was designated as a nature reserve (NSG) by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis in 2019 with the Sundern landscape plan . Before that, the area was part of the Sundern nature reserve from 1993 . The NSG goes to the edge of the village and is mostly surrounded by spruce forests in the Sundern nature reserve.

description

The landscape plan explains the nature reserve: “The light-flooded, extensive coppice forest lies predominantly on the southern slopes of a mountain ridge running in an east-west direction and shows a dense herbaceous layer of grass, berry and heather bushes. The bottom layer becomes more and more shallow towards the ridges. In addition to the predominantly well-structured coppice forest, smaller areas are overgrown and therefore aging. In the east of the settlement, a parcel of spruce is enclosed in the coppice like an island. There are still numerous, mostly well-developed coppice forest areas in the planning area. As relics of a historical form of forest management, they are evidence of the cultural landscape of this area. If the type of management typical of the Niederwald forest is continued or resumed, the present area within a Niederwald network system takes on a special position due to its close proximity to the Niederwald Recklinghausen nature reserve . "

Protection purpose

According to the landscape plan, the designation took place:

  • "Protection of a valuable forest (management) type, from a faunistic, vegetation and cultural-historical point of view;"
  • "Preservation and optimization of a species-rich (low) forest area through management adapted to the type of forest."
  • "Development of a Niederwaldgesellschaft on a potential location."
  • "The NSG also serves to sustainably secure the occurrence of rare animal and plant species."

Development measures

The following additional development measures were laid down in the landscape plan: “Any coniferous wood must be removed. In order to maintain the traditional forest management method, the use of the coppice forest on the area must be continued or resumed within the framework of contractual regulations (Section 26 LG).
