Landschaftsschutzgebiet

Hof bei Salzburg, Salzburg

This occurs in limited areas when special protection regulations are required. For example, special scenic beauty, extensive originality, or the occurrence of endangered or rare animals and plants are considered reasons for protection. Landscape protection areas are areas outside built-up areas that either have special scenic beauty or are important for recreation. In the state of Salzburg, not only the area around Fuschlsee, but also areas around all larger lakes and many mountain landscape parts are protected. In all landscape protection areas, among other things, a permit is required for: Erection, parking of facilities Measures involving soil disturbance, deposits, or embankments Camping or parking caravans in the open air Parking in the open landscape Setting buoys Mining of minerals Removal and impairment of significant individual trees, hedges, as well as the removal of mountain pine branches within 50 m along roads and marked paths. Any alteration of standing waters including a 50 m wide riparian zone As early as 1941, an area of 665.4 ha in the Fuschlsee basin between Filbling in the S and Schober in the N was placed under protection. The last review of this regulation took place in 1985. The typical vegetation with purple moor grass meadows, rare orchids, buckthorn and oak stands, and a diverse flora and fauna around Fuschlsee is to be largely protected. The purpose of protection is the preservation of the scenic beauty and its importance for recreation and tourism. The Fuschlsee Nature Reserve At Fuschlsee, the fen (Verlandungsmoor) on the west bank was placed under protection on October 1, 1975. It covers an area of 100.6 ha. It is considered a European biogenetic reservoir. It is located on the west bank of the lake and extends from the lake's outflow into a small basin landscape. Here you can find purple moor grass meadows, rare orchids, and wet indicator species such as sundew, cotton grasses, rushes – reed and lily species. According to the expert opinion by Beier, Ehmer, and Künkele, 1986, among others, blue monkshood (Aconitus napellus), common water plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica), Davall's sedge (Carex davalliana), flesh-colored and broad-leaved marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza incarnata and majalis), marsh helleborine (Epipactis palustris), spring gentian (Gentiana verna), German gentian (Gentiana germanica), Christmas rose (Helleborus niger), white narcissus (Narcissus poeticus), yellow water-lily (Nuphar lutea), lesser butterfly-orchid (Platanthera bifolia), and globeflower (Trollius europaeus) occur here. In the NE lies a small forest with bog-woodland character. Roe deer, fox, and brown hare can be found here. It is an ornithological retreat area where many bird species have been detected in recent years. (see Vogelspur) Biotope types include floating-leaved plant communities, reed belts and reed zones, and purple moor grass meadows, as well as cultivated meadows, acidic spruce forest, beech mixed forests, and spruce plantations. The entire Fuschlsee basin is filled with moraine material. Below it lie limestones and main dolomite. The fen, located on the present-day west bank, originated from the Fuschlsee shore, which was located further west than today at the end of the Ice Age. Fens are limnogenic bogs. They originated from former lake deposits. According to Kirsai, the distribution of fens is essentially limited to the area glaciated during the High Würm (Krisai, 1983). Initially, organic material, sapropel, was deposited on the bottom of the lake. Due to more and more dead plants, oxygen deficiency occurred, so the organic material could no longer rot – the subhydric mud formed. The shore area became shallower and shallower, and with it the reed belt disappeared. Subsequently, silting up occurred. Floating mats settled on the slowly silting muddy water. The underlying mud solidified more and more, and a low-moor peat bog formed. Low-moor peat bog is usually only a few centimeters to decimeters thick. The water trail, however, does not continue through the fen, but straight ahead, directly to the shores of Fuschlsee.
