To protect endangered and rare bird species, the annual ban on entering the Loisach-Kochelsee moors applies until mid-July. Dogs must be on a leash.
Region - Every year again... The annual entry ban applies from March 20th to July 15th in the meadow breeding area of the Loisach-Kochelsee-Moore. The Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district office announced this in a press release. This serves to protect rare and critically endangered bird species, such as curlews, whinchats, stonechats and lapwings.
The area, which stretches along the Loisach from Kochelsee to Penzberg, may only be entered on selected paths. Dogs must be on a leash. The paths are marked on the display boards on site and can be viewed on the district office's homepage (www.lra-toelz.de search term: “meadow breeder”), the message continues.
To protect rare and endangered bird species, there is a ban on entering the Loisach-Kochelsee moors until mid-July
With an area of around 4,000 square meters, the Loisach-Kochelsee moors are, according to the district office, one of the largest contiguous wetlands in Germany. It is characterized by large areas with only a few trees and bushes. The moor therefore has an important function not only locally, but also for Central Europe. Namely as a breeding ground for rare and critically endangered ground-nesting bird species that need these open areas.
The birds breed unprotected in the open meadow and raise their young. To protect animals, it is therefore very important that the regulations are adhered to. The nature conservation watchdog checks this on site, the district office continues. Further information online at www.dein-toelzer-land.de/die-loisach-kochelsee-moore.
