<< Felderbachtal nature reserve (EN-014) >>
"Wide brook valley in which grassland use predominates. The Felderbach is 3 m wide, meanders in large curves and mostly has an unpaved bank. There are gravel banks and scours. In some areas, the bank was reinforced with a riprap Poplars, alders and ash trees formed. To the west of the area, a stream flows in from the south. There is a 4 m high rampart here, on which a small oak and hornbeam copse grows. In the medium term, the poplars should be removed from the stream.Area description:
The near-natural Felderbach meanders, lined with typical alder vegetation, through wet farmland and very species-rich fallow wet grassland.
value:
The near-natural course of the Felderbach and its high water structure quality contribute to the high value of the area. However, the focus of the area is on the wet commercial grasslands and the particularly species-rich fallow wet grassland, some of which are in an excellent state of preservation.
Development goals/biotope network:
As a linear biotope, the area functions as an important part of the network of the state-wide biotope network. Main development goals The main development goal is to maintain the high value of the water body and its natural course. The adjacent wet meadows and fallow wet meadows should be protected from bush encroachment in the long term."
