The Sablatnigmoor ( Slovenian Zablaško blato ) is a 100 hectare nature reserve in the market town of Eberndorf , Carinthia. In 1992 it was included in the catalog of internationally significant wetlands worthy of protection under the Ramsar Agreement .
Emergence
The moor complex, located about 25 km southeast of Klagenfurt , with large stocks of spring moor and subsequent flow moor, goes back to the silting up of a large post-glacial lake. About 9000 years ago, this lake filled a four and a half square kilometer large depression including today's Turnersee . Due to the runoff that still exists today, the lake level was lowered by approx. 20 m and the wide depression into today's Turnersee and today's Sablatnigmoor was divided into two parts.
Nature reserve
In 1979 the approximately 100 hectare area was declared a nature reserve Sablatnigmoor by the Carinthian state government . It was later bought with the use of public funds and is now owned by the market town of Eberndorf. In 1992, the nature reserve received international recognition by designating it as a Ramsar area, in accordance with the Iranian Ramsar Convention for the Protection of Significant Wetlands in 1971 . In the same year the nature conservation association Sablatnigmoor was founded, which deals with issues of conservation, maintenance and tourist use. The diversity of plants and animals (well over 2000 species) also earned the area the title of a biogenetic reserve in 1988 . It is also a Natura 2000 area and is very close to that of the Natura 2000 area at Turnersee . In 2008, the Sablatnigmoor was declared a European protected area.
Historical use
Because of the shallow depth, the existing water surface in the area of today's Sablatnigmoor silted up very quickly. The Sablatnig meadows were created, which were used as horse pastures and litter meadows. More than 200 years ago, these meadows were dammed and the resulting pond was used for fishing. The construction of the Tomar Chaste, which probably also served as a fisherman's hut or pond keeper's hut, also fell during this period of fishing . In the mid-1970s, numerous plans with a wide variety of contents were drawn up: from the dredging and construction of a swimming pond, to draining and conversion into an intensively used agricultural area, to placing it under protection.
Flora and fauna
flora
Characteristic for the area are, among other things, various aquatic plant communities , reed beds and large sedge swamps, tall herbaceous meadows , wet meadows , Kleinseggenriede, and black alder swamp forests. Particularly noteworthy is the occurrence of two carnivorous species, the sundew and the water hose. In the fens there are numerous rare orchids , such as B. the gloss orchis, marsh stendellum and flesh-red orchid, as well as the now rare marsh fern and the blood eye and the lung gentian. The water areas are almost completely covered by the various spawning herbs. Cattail and the sharp Schneidried form an impenetrable reed bed in places.
fauna
The Sablatnigmoor is often referred to as one of the most important bird sanctuaries in Carinthia. In recent years, more than 170 different bird species have been recorded here. In addition to the numerous breeding birds, such as B. crested grebe , little grebe , little bittern, Bläßralle, moorhen, mallard , pochard, various warblers, golden oriole, hoopoe and the kingfisher are, especially during the spring and autumn trains to observe numerous rarities that make here in Sablatnigmoor briefly rest . Cormorants , great egrets, little egrets, ospreys, red hawk, black tern and potty titmouse can be observed as regular migrants . In addition, there are a variety of other remarkable animal species, such as butterflies, beetles and dragonflies. And the common river mussel and European crayfish , which are threatened with extinction in Carinthia, could also be detected years ago . The amphibians are also numerous , such as the tree frog, agile frog, common frog, yellow-bellied toad and the Balkan moor frog, which is sky-blue during the spawning season and is the mascot of the South Carinthian nature reserve.
