The Wiedergeltingen wood , also called Viehweid , is a forest in the municipality of Wiedergeltingen in Bavaria .

location

The Wiedergeltinger wood is located about one kilometer south of Wiedergeltingen. Most of it is in the area of ​​the municipality of Wiedergeltingen in the Unterallgäu district , with only about 10% of the area in the Ostallgäu district . The forest area is traversed by the Hungerbach and thus divided into an east and a west half. In the north, the Wiedergeltinger wood borders directly on the federal motorway 96 . To the south, the forest is delimited by a high-voltage power line . The altitude is about 617  m above sea level. NHN .

history

In the past the forest was used as a so-called Hutewald . Due to the sparse tree population, the forest could be used as pasture for the cattle. The field name Viehweid for the forest area still reminds of this time . As early as the 19th century, the contours of the grove corresponded roughly to today's dimensions. In the course of the use of the forest area and the adjacent fallow and meadow areas as pasture, there were ongoing disputes in the 16th century between the community of Wiedergeltingen on the one hand and the villages of Lindenberg, Jengen, Ketterschwang, Weinhausen, Weicht and Ummenhausen on the other. This dispute was finally settled by a settlement letter of June 12, 1578, in which the grazing rights were delimited from one another locally. In 2000, a large part of the forest was designated as an FFH area .

FFH area

The FFH area within the forest covers an area of ​​26 hectares, immediately south of the A96. No part of the FFH area is further than 700 m from the edge of the motorway. The habitat type is described as limestone (semi) dry grass and bushes with orchid-rich stands. About 88% of the area is classified in the area data sheet as artificial and coniferous forests . In the sparse pine forest there are scattered remnants of a continental grassland and small-scale meadow grass . Only plants are listed as species worthy of protection, for example the lady's slipper .
