Individual evidence

  1. a b c Map services of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation ( information )
  2. A natural area with the number 107.0 is not designated, therefore the natural area Schurwald (107.00) is part of the main unit Schurwald and Welzheimer Wald with the number 107 (see referenced natural area sheets 170/171), deviating from the usual numbering scheme.
