Nature reserve Unteres Heckmersiepen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nature reserve Unteres Heckmersiepen with a size of 1.4  hectares is located east of Stemel in the urban area of Sundern (Sauerland) . The area was designated as a nature reserve (NSG) with an area of ​​1.8 hectares for the first time in 1993 with the Sundern landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis . When the landscape planner Sundern was reorganized, the NSG was shown again and reduced in size. The NSG borders to the south and east of the Sundern nature reserve and to the north of the nature reserve on the outskirts of Stemel . The NSG is located on the eastern edge of the village. There is a residential building in the NSG.

Area description

It is an approximately 150 m long section of the valley of the near-natural Heckmersiepen creek, which is mostly accompanied by an alder wood. In the eastern part of the NSG the alders merge into a field wood. In the western part there is a fallow wet pasture. The valley floor is traversed by an asphalt dirt road, which separates a springy, damp old spruce stand from the rest of the NSG.

Protection purpose

The NSG is supposed to protect the area with the species there. As with all nature reserves in Germany, the protection designation pointed out that the area became a nature reserve “because of the rarity, special character and beauty of the area”.
