The nature reserve Lörmeckal system with a size of 18.19 ha is located in the Arnsberg Forest in the municipality of Bestwig . The area was designated as a nature reserve (NSG) by the Hochsauerlandkreis in 2008 with the Bestwig landscape plan. The north-western or northern border is the municipality and district border at the same time. To the north of the NSG are the town of Warstein and the district of Soest . The NSG includes the Lörmecke and tributaries. The entire course of the Lörmecke was designated as a NSG and at the same time FFH area Lörmecketal (DE-4516-301). The source is to the west of the urban area of Meschede in the Lörmecketal nature reserve (Meschede) . The rest of the Lörmeckelauf runs north in the Lörmeckal nature reserve (Soest district) in the urban area of Rüthen .

Area description

The NSG is the Lörmeckal and side valleys in the municipality of Bestwig. The brooks and their floodplain were designated as NSG. Red alder usually grows along the streams . Partly alder forests occur along the streams. Rare animal and plant species are found in the NSG.

Protection purpose
