Young men camp on Lake Walchen: a violation of nature protection!

on the south bank of Lake Walchen, there was an incident that once again focuses on the problem of improper behavior in landscape protection areas. Four young men between the ages of 19 and 20 in Leipzig had opened a tent and lit a campfire. An attentive witness informed the police, who met the men on Wednesday morning around 7:30 a.m. in a parking lot. On arrival, garbage around the tent was also found. The young men now have to expect high fines because they stayed in the landscape protection area and lit a fire, which violates the provisions applicable there, such as merkur.de reported.

In the past, there have always been problems with garbage and improper behavior in this idyllic region. The police explicitly indicate the signage that only allow parking on designated areas between the southern entrance to Walchensee and Urfeld. Six cases have already been reported in the current month in which drivers drained controlled roads or parked in the landscape protection area, which can lead to fines of over 100 euros.

The importance of landscape protection areas

landscape protection areas (LSG) play an important role in nature conservation and serve to preserve landscapes from ecological, cultural and social aspects. According to bfn.de , they take almost a third of the country nationwide. The aim of the LSG is to preserve the peculiarity and uniqueness of the landscape, where they are supposed to protect different natural landscapes and cultural landscapes.

In Germany there are over 8,900 those areas that make up a total of around 10.1 million hectares, which corresponds to about 27 % of the total area of ​​the Federal Republic. These areas can also include built -up areas as long as they are regarded as part of the environment worth protecting. The nature conservation authorities are designated by the nature conservation authorities to ensure sustainable use and protection of the natural goods.

The current incidents at Lake Walchen illustrate the need to raise awareness of the rules in landscape protection areas. The police and local organizations are working to address these problems and to clarify the visitors about the meaning and the rules in these protective areas, such as Bzt.bayern Beton. This is the only way to get the innovative and unique nature of Lake Walchen for future generations.
