The unregulated course of the Lafnitz River, especially from the mouth of the Stögersbach, represents a unique biotope in Central Europe. With its approximately 40 meanders, this section is the most diversely structured section of the entire river, offering a variety of habitats for both flora and fauna. The undisturbed flow dynamics are favored by heavy summer rainfall, which frequently leads to flooding. These floods promote the pronounced structuring of the banks, known in ecology as sloping and sliding slopes.

An important aspect of this nature reserve is the breeding population of typical river bird species such as the Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius), the Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos), and the Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), which depend on these specially shaped banks.

In addition, the largely unregulated sections of the Lafnitz, together with the Raab, provide habitat for the endangered European Otter (Lutra lutra). This species, which in Austria occurs mainly in the waters of the Mühlviertel and Waldviertel regions as well as in the lower reaches of the Raab, Lafnitz and Feistritz rivers, benefits from an intact and diverse water landscape, which is essential for its reproduction and foraging.
