Protection purpose

According to the Protected Area Ordinance, the main protection purpose is the preservation of the diversity and beauty of the valleys and valley slopes along the Trinkbach, Seebach and Aubach as well as the orchard meadows, meadows, groups of trees, wet areas, woody banks and forest edges of the foothills. This varied landscape offers numerous animals and plants the necessary habitat. The multitude of different landscape elements and the wealth of the most diverse border structures with their importance as a habitat for numerous, sometimes rare plant and animal species characterize the value of this landscape. Another protective purpose is to ensure that it is a valuable recreational area on the edge of the heavily industrialized and polluted valleys of the Neckar, Lauter and Lindach, as well as protecting against damage from small buildings and fences.
