Steinriegellandschaft zwischen Weikersheim und Elpersheim

English Translation

Schöntal, OT Bieringen: Stone bars / harvest stone bars on valley slopes are typically found where the rocks of the Upper Muschelkalks are present.

The stone bars are by their loose structure ideal and valuable habitats or retreats for a variety of microorganisms.

Original Text

Schöntal, OT Bieringen: Steinriegel/Lesesteinriegel an Talhängen finden sich typischerweise wo die Gesteinsfolgen des Oberen Muschelkalks anstehen. Zur Urbarmachung und während der landwirtschaftlichen Bearbeitung der Hangflächen sind die frostgesprengten, noch kantigen Steinbrocken von Hand ausgelesen und zu diesen in Falllinie liegenden Wällen angehäuft worden. Die Steinriegel sind durch ihr lockeres Gefüge ideale und wertvolle Lebensräume oder Rückzugsquartiere für eine Vielzahl von Kleinlebewesen.
