Further projects and information

The moorland between Loisach and Kochelsee was formed in the Würm Ice Age more than 15,000 years ago. These areas have been used for agriculture for more than 1000 years. The flower-rich litter meadows in the area of the fen were created. At the same time, the extensive wetlands are a habitat for a large number of plant and animal species that are threatened with extinction. More than 200 bird species come to these moorland areas as guest and breeding birds. The Loisach-Kochelsee moors are part of the European NATURA 2000 biotope network.

From March 20 to July 15, i.e. during the time of the arrival of the birds and the rearing of the young birds, the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district office has issued an ordinance prohibiting in particular

• Letting dogs run free
• to leave the marked paths
• to ride
• Playing ball or sport
• to camp or store
• Light the fire.

Please also remember: Meadows used for agricultural purposes may only be entered on the existing paths during the growing season (Art. 25 Bavarian Nature Conservation Act).

Further information about the area and individual bird species occurring in the area can be found on the following information boards, which you will also find at various points in the area:

Interreg project "Diverse life on our Alpine rivers" (AB 179) - completed by 31.12.2020

The beautiful landscapes of the last wild Alpine rivers such as the Iller, Lech, Loisach, Ammer, Rißbach, Isar and Tiroler Achen and their tributaries provide a habitat for many endangered species across borders. At the same time, these areas are a magnet for leisure tourism from near and far. It is hardly surprising that so many different interests come together in such a small area:
Water sports enthusiasts and other recreation seekers use the unique natural environment to regenerate from everyday stress and seek adventure. For species such as the sandpiper or the German tamarisk, however, the wild river landscapes are the last suitable habitats in the Alpine region and consequently these species react very sensitively to disturbance.

The Interreg project "Diverse life on our Alpine rivers" addresses precisely this problem and aims to create the conditions for a harmonious coexistence of people and nature across borders. In order to achieve this, the Landesbund für Vogelschutz e.V., the Tiroler Lech Nature Park, the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen District Office and the Karwendel Nature Park have planned the following measures:

• Development of common, uniform quality standards for visitor guidance and monitoring.
• Creation of management plans and visitor guidance concepts
• Development and implementation of a multi-level communication concept
• Survey of selected target species and establishment of a standardized monitoring system
• Installation, expansion and qualification of rangers
• Creation of self-explanatory signage that is as uniform as possible

A detailed project description can be found on the homepage of the Karwendel Nature Park.

Plants from other regions can crowd out and eventually displace our native wild plants. It is therefore essential to combat these.

BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN BAVARIA
Bavaria has an impressive variety of valuable cultural landscapes with a considerable number of animal and plant species. This is the basis of its scenic beauty, attraction for tourists and quality of life for its citizens.

The felling of trees and shrubs, even in the home garden, is subject to various regulations.
