description

The landscape plan explains NSG: “The upper course of the Walpke brook runs close to nature in a narrow Kerbsohlental, which is mostly planted with deciduous forest. Along the stream, an alder bank is formed, which at its edges mostly has smooth transitions to the grove-beech forest. Individual plots are planted with spruce. "

Protection purpose

According to the landscape plan, it was designated as:

  • "Protection, preservation and development of a near-natural stream course with accompanying alder banks and deciduous forests on the valley floor as a networking and stepping stone biotope."
  • "The NSG also serves to sustainably secure habitats that are particularly worthy of protection according to § 30 BNatSchG and the occurrence of rare animal and plant species."
