Protection goals

The conservation area is to preserve a section of the Lech Valley with its diverse communities and to secure and promote the function of the Lech Valley as a flora and fauna bridge between the Alps and the Jura . Uninfluenced development should be made possible for natural and near-natural habitats. Sliding slopes are left to their own devices in terms of their movement dynamics and vegetation development, and river relocations are also permitted, provided that this is possible within the framework of the Lech's hydropower use. In order to preserve rare and endangered animal and plant species and to promote their natural development, their feeding, breeding and living spaces are protected and their privacy is guaranteed. Geomorphological changes such as the natural further development of the impact slopes are permitted; The rock outcrops and relief forms as important documents of the geological history of the region are to be preserved for the purposes of popular education and local history as well as science, research and teaching. Scientific research into the area continues.
