Landscape image protection area

Landscape image protection is an older form of protection (established on the basis of Section 19 of the Nature Conservation Act) and a concept that does not exist in the Environmental Code. It is gradually replaced with other forms of protection, but until then the provisions in the landscape protection areas apply. Special regulations are available for each landscape image protection. The protection regulates buildings, roads and other facilities that may have a negative effect on the landscape. It does not regulate forestry and agriculture. The county administrative boards handle landscape image protection. Contact the respective county administrative board if further information is requested.
