The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .

location

The approximately nine square kilometers large bird sanctuary “Rietberger Emsniederung with Steinhorster Basin” lies in the border area of ​​the East Westphalian districts of Gütersloh and Paderborn . It extends along the Ems , between the Verler district Kaunitz in the northeast and Rietberg in the southwest.

description

The protected area is described as a large, groundwater and grassland shaped lowland area of ​​the upper Ems near Rietberg in the eastern Münsterland and is considered "one of the most important breeding, resting, migration and wintering areas in North Rhine-Westphalia".
