This area encompasses diverse landscapes, including extensive polder areas, old river arms of the Trebel, peat bogs, swamp forests, and dry grassland slopes. It is a vital sanctuary for numerous amphibians like the Common Spadefoot Toad and European Tree Frog, which in turn support breeding populations of majestic birds of prey, including the Lesser Spotted Eagle, Red Kite, and Marsh Harrier.
