The Haarberg-Wasserberg area is a nature reserve (NSG number 1.175) designated by ordinance of December 4, 1990 by the Stuttgart Regional Council in the area of the municipality of Deggingen , Reichenbach im Täle , in the Baden-Württemberg district of Göppingen .

location

The 109.6 hectare (ha) nature reserve is located northwest of Reichenbach im Täle. Wasserberg and Haarberg form the south-south-west exposed steep slope of the Fischbach valley. The NSG is supplemented by the two landscape protection areas No. 1.17.041 Haarberg and 1.17.006 Wasserberg located on the northern edge . It belongs to the natural area 94 Mittlere Kuppenalb of the natural spatial main unit 09 - Swabian Alb and is part of the 5,430 hectare FFH area DE-7423-342 Filsalb and the 39,597.3 hectare bird sanctuary DE-7422-441 Middle Swabian Alb .

Protection purpose

The main protection purposes are:

the preservation of a diverse, small-scale landscape with a semi-natural mixed deciduous forest, juniper heaths, shrubbery zones, hedges, succession areas and extensively used, species-rich meadows with the typical, sometimes highly endangered plant and animal species and as a valuable recreational area.
Preservation and promotion of a landscape-defining juniper heather with limestone grasslands, dry grasslands, debris heaps, dry bushes as food and habitat for many, in part endangered, plant and animal species.
Preservation and promotion of the near-natural steppe heather forest, the clover forest-like stands with spring areas and the beech slope forest with old wood that is particularly valuable for the birds.
Preservation of the landscape.
