Protection purpose

The main protection purpose is the preservation and improvement of the Sauldorf quarry ponds and the adjacent valley floodplain areas, which are ecologically linked with the lakes, as breeding, resting and feeding biotopes for numerous animal species, in particular for endangered bird species, but also for amphibians, aquatic insects and small fish.

This means in particular that in the area of the lakes the open water surface and the adjacent bank areas calm down and that the reed beds, the silted vegetation, the vegetation-free gravel and silt areas, shallow water zones and small bodies of water are preserved.

The floodplain should be kept open and the existing grassland areas preserved. The promotion of extensive grassland management and the reconversion of plowed-up areas, including through land acquisition, are planned. The rivers and ditches and their vegetation should be preserved and optimized.
