The nature reserve Luerwald and Bieberbach (sometimes differently recorded as NSG Luerwald and Bieber tal ) is a 563 hectare nature reserve (NSG identification MK-016) on the eastern city limits of Menden (Sauerland) in the Märkisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia . In 2004 the district government of Arnsberg designated the area as a NSG by ordinance. It consists of three sub-areas. The southern part of the area is separated by the 537 highway. In the Hochsauerlandkreis in the urban area of Arnsberg, the Luerwald nature reserve borders directly .
Most of the area is also part of the 2633 hectare FFH area and the 2637 hectare EU bird sanctuary " Lürwald und Bieberbach ".
Area description
The NSG is the Lürwald forest area . There are also areas on the Bieberbach north of the Lürwald . The forest, known today as the Lürwald, only describes a small part of the former forest and no longer has any direct connection with the area now known as the Arnsberg Forest. The Lürwald lies between Lendringsen in the west and Neheim and Hüsten with Voßwinkel in the east. In the south he approached the valley of the Hönne . The average altitude is 200 to 300 m above sea level. The largest part of today's nature reserve is free of settlements and is hardly intersected by roads. The forest is crossed by numerous rivers such as the Bieberbach in the form of forest streams. There are sometimes narrow brook alder ( ash ) forests along the streams . Beech and oak mixed forests are predominant in the central Lürwald . Other tree species can also be found in other parts.
Lürwald is also the name of a natural spatial unit that the geographer Wilhelm Müller-Wille delimited from other areas according to geomorphological features . The natural spatial unit Lürwald is surrounded by the Arnsberger, Fröndenberger and Schwerter Ruhrtal, the Menden hill country, the Balver Platte and the Hachen mountain country.
fauna and Flora
The fauna includes black stork , common raven , woodcock , red kite and middle woodpecker . The middle woodpecker has one of its largest occurrences in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Luerwald.
Planning for the construction of the A 46 through the area
Originally, plans for the further construction of the A 46 also provided for cutting through the Lürwald. An FFH impact assessment with regard to the habitat of black storks and other species relevant to planning, in particular FFH Annex IV species, made it necessary to plan a different route. Critics also see the Lürwald threatened in the more recent plans, although later planning variants lead around the forest.
