Nature Reserve

Nature reserves constitute one of the most important conservation categories in Germany and Austria. The exact definitions vary, but together they combine the conservation of natural landscape, the protection of endangered species and the preservation for scientific interests.

Das Naturschutzgebiet liegt in der naturräumlichen Einheit „Ostheide“. Es handelt sich um ein naturnahes Hochmoor mit intakter Hoch- und Übergangsmoor-Vegetation in einem Erdfall. Es umfasst angrenzend Bruchwälder, eichenbetonte Mischwälder, Hochstaudenfluren, Feuchtgrünland und mesophiles Grünland. Weiterhin beinhaltet das NSG Ackerflächen und Kiefernmischwälder. Schutzzweck ist u. a. die Erhaltung und Förderung des in einem Talkessel (Erdfall) liegenden zum Teil durch Hangdruckwasser beeinflussten, naturnahen Hochmoores mit seinen randlichen Zwischenmoorbildungen, des im Westen an das Hochmoor angrenzenden zum Teil quelligen, sehr struktur- und artenreichen Erlenbruchwaldes mit einem eingelagerten Zwischenmoorbereich und verlandeten Torfstichen sowie der Hangpartien des Erdfalls mit ihren Eichenmischwäldern.
