NATURE RESERVES – OUR LOCAL SANCTUARIES

In our nature reserves, you will find areas established to protect and preserve valuable nature and rare species. The biodiverse environments also serve as a means to secure public access to attractive natural areas, which may be used for recreation, outdoor activities, bird watching and other nature experiences. These are our local sanctuaries, where you can relax and find peace. Don’t forget that the right of public access also comes with a great responsibility to not disturb and to leave nature as you found it. Some reserves are designed for accessibility, while others offer more challenging terrain, perfect for those in search of peace, quiet, and solitude. Each reserve boasts its own distinctive character, and in many places, you’ll encounter real wilderness.

Nature reserves are one of the main ways of protecting our precious countryside. Each reserve is unique and therefore has its own rules for looking after its natural features. The purpose of the nature reserve determines what restrictions apply. When you visit a nature reserve, signs will tell you what rules you have to follow are.
