Bühler Tal und Unterer Bürg

The protected area spans 84.3 hectares and features the Bühlertalbach stream, which meanders through ash-alder forests and wet meadows at elevations between 350-400 meters.

The Tübingen Regional Council officially designated this area as a protected nature reserve on March 10, 1993, establishing it as an IUCN Category IV site.

The reserve maintains traditional agricultural practices through managed meadows and orchards, preserving long-standing local land management methods.

A 350-meter-long and seven-meter-high dam construction began in 2018 to create the Wuhrwiesen flood retention basin for preventing future flooding events.

The Bühlertalbach stream provides essential habitat for lampreys while surrounding wet meadows support yellow-bellied toads and troll flowers.
