Protection Of Species - Biotopes
THE WADDENHAUSER LAKE PROJECT
BACKGROUND
The site is located in Werreaue in the north west of the city of Lage in Lippe, in the administrative district of Detmold. The excavation of sand and gravel took place over a period of 22 years (1968-1990). The excavation area had a size of about 16 hectares.
ACTION
The recultivation was carried out simultaneously with the excavation and was accomplished between 1990-1992.
The transport connection of the site was carried out from the north via the Heerstrasse and through a road constructed for that purpose.
The specific characteristic of the Waddenhauser Lake is the variety of facilities and structures of biotopes that developed after the redevelopment. The development of the biotopes and the banks are particularly impressive.
A bike and foot path around the site facilitates recreation and the experience of the natural diversity.
The path is connected to a regional road network that connects the localities in the North with the city centre of Lage in the South.
RESULTS
The Waddenhauser Lake provides further potential for development regarding the protection of species and biotopes and has an important role for local recreation.
