    Tips

    Expelled 1988
    Size 5.8 hectares
    Brief description:
    Wetland with great biological diversity, through small biotopes such as: ponds, stream banks, reed beds, large sedge meadows, tall herb corridors, wet meadows, willow breakage and hedges in the drier peripheral areas.

    According to the ordinance, the main protective purpose of the nature reserve is “the preservation and promotion of a wetland area that is largely natural in its structure, some of which is still under development and is being ecologically upgraded through design measures. Furthermore, it is important to protect the rare biotic communities of the wet biotope and its endangered animal and plant species".

    The area is characterized by meadows surrounding a small forest island characterized by alder and hybrid poplar. In this grove there are several ponds and a small forest ledge swamp. In the west, the protected area is bordered by the Rittersbach and the Gaisbartgraben, which flow here in straightened stream beds.

    Reed stocks, large sedge reeds, tall herb meadows, unfertilized wet meadows, fertilized meadows, broken willow, poplar plots and hedges contribute to the ecological value of this area.
    Depending on the season, different flowering aspects prevail.
    In spring, the marsh marigolds shine bright yellow, and a little later the wood rushes with some types of orchids dominate the picture.
    Meadowsweet, yellow loosestrife and loosestrife bloom then, while stinging nettle and hogweed set the tone in midsummer aspect.
    Countless insects live in this mosaic of plant communities.
    The ponds, created just a few years ago to replace the damaged headwaters, are a magnet for many frogs, amphibians and toads.
    As the sanctuary offers sufficient breeding and cover opportunities as well as a rich food supply, it attracts a large number of birds from the surrounding area.

      It looks like a swamp here, everything is natural. In spring you can hear an incredible number of birds here. Nature reserve.
