History, size and protection goals

The area around the Vilsalpsee has been under nature protection since 1957 .

In 1995 it was proposed as a Natura 2000 area, expanded to that effect as a nature reserve in 1998, and from 2000 onwards it was designated both as an FFH area according to the Habitats Directive and as a European bird protection area according to the Birds Directive (site code AT3302000).

In 2002 the area was enlarged to 1,829  hectares .

In 2009, the protective purpose required according to § 21  Z.2 Tyrolean Nature Conservation Act 2005 (TNSchG 2005) was subsequently announced:
