Tips

PeterH65 (a.k.a. "Waldorf")

March 2, 2020

The Leyerbachtal nature reserve (also called the Silbertal nature reserve) has been subject to the change ban since November 15, 2001. It has a size of 15.13 ha. It is a larger sole brook valley. The 80 to 100 m wide valley floor is planted with riparian forest. The central area of the NSG is characterized by a species-rich, partly moist meadow. Poplar forests should - as has already started in places - be converted into near-natural deciduous forest stands. The stream flows mostly in natural loops and forms gravel banks.

The protection designation is carried out to preserve and secure the near-natural low mountain stream, to ensure the functionality of the natural balance of the stream ecosystem and to avoid impairment of the biotope structures that are highly worthy of protection.

Preserved wet and wet meadows, grassland wastelands, springs and spring streams, alder forest, small seggenried, brook cane and oak-hornbeam wood are to be preserved. In addition, the area is of cultural and historical importance due to the Hilbertshammer and other hammer remains.
