Pasture at Georgsteich

The "Koppel am Georgsteich" including all planning, execution and financial means is a project of the HGON (Hessian Society for Ornithology and Nature Conservation, AK Marburg-Biedenkopf) and the Willy Bauer Nature Conservation Foundation as landowner with the support of the district and the RP Gießen.
The project is not limited to the renaturation of a tributary to the Hatzbach. It is also about the conversion of arable land into extensive grassland and the use of the grassland as extensive cattle pasture. The project was financed by means of the equalization levy under nature conservation law and the initial measures were implemented in 2008.
Since the end of the construction work and some winter floods, the newly created creek in particular has developed dynamically. The step of the cattle supports this development. The erection of a permanent fence, which simplifies grazing in the somewhat remote area, will above all increase the safety for drivers on the nearby road.Interesting also see here:

Not to forget, there is also a hiking car park here to start the tour around the Wetzstein.
