The Paustenbacher Venn is a 49 hectare nature reserve south of Lammersdorf under a power line. It is separated from the High Fens by a former railway line, today's cycle path called Vennbahn .
description
A longitudinal trench attempted in vain to drain the area. Pipe grass heaths with scattered bell heather, peat moss and moor relics dominate. The drainage measures would be reversed as part of the regeneration measures in which the trenches were blocked. So that partial areas in the center of the area are more wet again. A peat moss community with cotton grass and bog lily developed in a shallow (possibly newly created) basin . So far, toad rush pioneer societies, callunaheids and grass grass have settled on the abraded areas in the southwestern area . This is followed in the east by bushes made of alder , downy birch and ear willow . This contains marsh heather residues in more or less narrow clearings and unused paths. Shallow ditches at the edge are overgrown with peat moss and swamp violets. In the adjacent grassland there is a near-natural small body of water with fever clover and swamp blood-eye in the silting area.
Protection purpose
