The Lippeaue is located in the north of the district of Soest. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Lippe Association and the NRW Foundation are committed to the Lippeaue. Since the mid-1990s, around 15 kilometers of the river have been renaturalized
The Lippeaue is rich in different habitats: the leisurely flowing Lippe, meadows and pastures, dry sandy heaths, tall herbaceous meadows, small forests, ponds, pools and streams. Smooth oat and wet meadows provide a habitat for rare plant species: meadow silau, yellow meadow rue, meadow atlant and small rattle grow here. The higher, sandy river terraces are the realm of specialists: English broom, dwarf feltwort and heather thrive here where other species can no longer cope with the nutrient-poor conditions. Wading birds such as snipe, wood sandpiper or greenshank, ducks such as wigeon or teal and the crane are just some of the numerous species that spend the winter or rest in the Lippeaue during migration.
