Nature reserve

The ordinance on the nature reserve includes the following protection purposes:

"[...] as a location of wild growing plant communities that are rarely threatened in terms of their existence, in particular of large and small sedge areas, alder quarries, alternately moist meadows and dry grasslands as well as to preserve the remains of a moderately nutrient-supplied flow moor [...] as a habitat for animal species threatened by the population, especially as breeding and feeding area for numerous bird species and as a retreat for endangered insects, amphibians and reptiles as well as semi-aquatic mammals [...] for ecological reasons to ensure the self-cleaning power of the largely intact river system with its underwater flora and fauna that are particularly worthy of protection [...] because of its importance in the context of the regional Biotope network. "
