Black alder quarry forest in the Schleinbach retention area

Ulrichskirchen-Schleinbach is located in the Weinviertel in Lower Austria. The area of ​​the market town covers 26.5 square kilometers. 26.56 percent of the area is forested.

Until the beginning of the 19th century the Rußbach meandered near Ulrichskirchen and there were extensive wetlands. In order to be able to intensify agricultural cultivation, the Rußbach was later straightened and wet areas drained. The measures resulted in serious ecological deficits, and many water-bound animal and plant species lost their habitat. Furthermore, the measures meant that precipitation flowed off more quickly and greater flood damage occurred further downstream. As a corrective measure, two retention areas were made between 2003 and 2004 , at Schleinbach with 143,000 cubic meters and southeast of Ulrichskirchen with 54,000 cubic meters, and a river widening east of Ulrichskirchen. This allows flood waves to be caught and cushioned. The Schleinbach retention area alone dampens the peak of a hundred-year flood by around a quarter. An existing quarry forest was included in the Schleinbach retention area and several still waters and a stream were created. As a result, the habitat was u. a. restored for waterfowl. As migratory birds, the curlew , the bag-titan , the wagtail , the teal and the water ranger could now be observed, as breeding birds the little grebe and lapwing .

In the Kreuttal, through which the Russbach, which is not regulated here, there is the only occurrence of the Speta squill in Austria .
