Weikersheim Protected Landscape

The Weikersheim Protected Landscape is a roughly 2,718-hectare protected landscape area in the Main-Tauber-Kreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It spans the municipal territories of Bad Mergentheim, Creglingen, Niederstetten, and the town of Weikersheim itself, covering a wide stretch of the Tauberland natural region. The area was designated on 19 May 1993 under the regional council of Stuttgart and is classified as an IUCN Category V protected landscape. Its purpose is to preserve the distinctive mosaic of slopes, valleys, and traditional land use elements that characterise this part of the Tauberland, while also serving as a recreational landscape for the surrounding communities. The protected landscape is notable for its Steinriegel, or stone ridge formations, near-natural streams, deep wooded Klingen valleys, and a varied patchwork of habitats on sloping terrain. These features give the area both scenic value and ecological importance, supporting biodiversity and providing high-quality biotopes within an intensively farmed region.

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.
