NSG: reported 1997
Size: 11.59ha
Location: north of Wißmar (municipality of Wettenberg)

The specialty of the "Asselbachtal bei Wißmar" lies in the diversity of the area. It consists of a small-scale mosaic of numerous habitat types and plant communities that are in decline, such as wet grassland along rivers, sedge-ried communities, bushes and old tree populations.
A multitude of endangered animal and plant species, such as rare butterflies and orchids, occur within this mosaic, which underline the value of the NSG.

Rare plant:
Narrow-leaved bladder sedge
Ordinary Columbine
Marsh marigold
Broad-leaved orchid
Water ragwort

Rare animal species:
Graycatcher
Green woodpecker
Common frog
Brown-spotted mother-of-pearl butterfly
Pearl grass butterfly
Dark blue-headed ant blue
Short-winged sword terrier
