Description

The nature reserve east of Hallenberg is a crucial component of the European ecological network "Natura 2000." It aims to preserve and develop diverse communities and habitats for wild plant and animal species, many of which are endangered. The area specifically protects a stream valley, richly structured by woody plants, and bordered by extensively used grasslands. The reserve also features valuable hedges and field groves, which serve as essential ecological corridors in the surrounding open agricultural landscape. Equally important is the species-rich grassland vegetation found in both moist and lean locations. The rarity, unique character, and outstanding beauty of this biotope complex significantly contribute to its protected status, establishing it as a valuable natural area within the Hochsauerland district.
