Upper Walpketal nature reserve
The nature reserve Upper Walpketal with an area of 5.6 hectares is located south of Wennigloh in the urban area 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 . The area was previously designated as part of the Sundern nature reserve. The NSG is surrounded in the west by spruce forest which is part of the Sundern nature reserve. In the east, the NSG borders directly on the city limits from Sundern to Arnsberg .
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."
