The inner german border is becoming more and more a lifeline. When "the green belt" was the former death strip now serves as a nature reserve. This is especially true for the section that touches the counties of hildburghausen, coburg, sonneberg and kronach. With millionenauand is here the "nature protection project grunes band – rodachtal – lange berge – steinachtal" implemented. With it, fences and watchtowers are coming back – but under completely different circumstances than at the time of the division of germany.<\/p>\n
Fences are now used to graze the flat areas to prevent them from becoming overgrown with bushes. Observation towers will give nature lovers the opportunity to observe the animals. Two such towers are to be erected in the area of bischofsau. A resolution to this effect was passed by the association at its meeting on wednesday. The octagonal platform of the towers, which can be reached via a spiral staircase, will be located at a height of about five meters. The platform will be mounted on a galvanized steel substructure and will have a lander and a hipped roof made of larch wood. The towers are expected to be erected by the end of this year, but at the latest at the beginning of next year, as stefan beyer informed.<\/p>\n
In the bischofsau, visitors can observe a variety of bird species and wild animals from the towers, in addition to the rustic heck cattle that are used for grazing there. To preserve the nature conservation value in the project area, man must intervene permanently. The fact that this involves a considerable amount of work became clear from the progress report by stefan beyer from the project team. Among other things, an area of rough grassland near emstadt has been de-bushed. At rotheul, it was necessary to clear the colonnade and to deepen small waters.<\/p>\n
For the debris removal in this area, a mechanical method was chosen. Part of the nature conservation project is to inform the public about the sense, purpose and status of the project. This is done through information boards or leaflets, but also through media reports on progress and planning.<\/p>\n
