location

The lower reaches of the Würm on the last nine kilometers before it flows into the Nagold is a largely undeveloped Black Forest valley. The nature reserve is between 252 and 370 meters above sea level. It begins around two kilometers behind Tiefenbronn and goes to the city limits of Pforzheim and belongs to the natural area 150- Black Forest edge plates within the natural spatial main unit 15- Black Forest . It borders on landscape protection areas along its entire length , namely in the first third on LSG No. 2.36.041- Neuhausen-Biet and then on LSG No. 2.31.001- Landscape protection area for the urban district of Pforzheim . It is also part of the approximately 1,902 hectare FFH area No. 7118341 Würm-Nagold-Pforte .

Protection purpose

The main purpose of protection is maintenance and improvement

  • the lower reaches of the Würm with its natural scree bed, its bank areas and the waters flowing towards it,
  • the wet meadows and tall herbaceous vegetation of the floodplain and bank area,
  • the alder and willow trees that accompany the stream and the deciduous fir and red beech forests on the valley flanks as well
  • the dumps and blades

as a habitat for specially adapted animal and plant communities, as climate-relevant elements of the natural area and as typical landscape components of a Black Forest valley. Another goal of the nature reserve is to preserve the cultural and historical facilities such as water pipes, weirs and moats, the bank fortifications from the time of timber rafting and the Liebeneck castle ruins with their historical fortifications.

The protection purpose of the landscape protection area is to secure the ecologically necessary supplementary space for the nature protection area and its animal world, in particular by maintaining the landscape and ecological unity of the Würmtal in its culturally and historically shaped character and use.
