Eco-points and compensation areas
District of Deggendorf
Immediately available eco-points from authority-recognised eco-accounts in the district of Deggendorf. greeNature is your full-service partner for compensation according to BayKompV between the Danube valley, Gäuboden and Bavarian Forest.
The District of Deggendorf at a glance
The district of Deggendorf is located in the east of Lower Bavaria on either side of the Danube and is the starting point to the Bavarian Forest. At Deggendorf, the Isar flows into the Danube, the motorway junction of A3 and A92 makes the district an important traffic node in Lower Bavaria.
The landscape is divided into three very different natural regions. To the south extends the fertile Gäuboden (Dungau) with deep loess soils on the Isar-Inn Shale Plains (natural region D65). North of the Danube, the crystalline bedrock of the Bavarian Forest (natural region D63) with its forested heights rises. In between, the Danube lowland with its floodplains forms the central and ecologically most valuable axis.
Ecologically outstanding is the Isar mouth area near Moos and Plattling, a nationally and European-significant floodplain and bird protection area with extensive oxbows, wet meadows and floodplain forest. The district has numerous FFH areas and nature reserves, including Danube oxbows and the slope forests of the Bavarian Forest. This structural diversity creates habitat for many European and nationally protected species.
Economically, the district is characterised by industry, logistics and commercial enterprises along the Danube and motorways, supplemented by the Deggendorf Technical University, the Danube port and efficient agriculture in the Gäuboden. Expansion of transport infrastructure, commercial and residential areas, as well as renewable energies regularly generate substantial compensation requirements according to BayKompV.

✅ greeNature on the ground
We know the nature conservation characteristics between Danube valley, Gäuboden and Bavarian Forest from practice. greeNature coordinates your liaison with the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (Untere Naturschutzbehörde) at the District Office Deggendorf, classifies your impact to the correct natural region (D63 or D65) and brings together compensation areas and recognised eco-points.
Typical measures in the district of Deggendorf
Floodplain restoration on Danube and Isar
Connection and revitalisation of oxbows, development of floodplain forest and wet grassland in the Danube lowland, creation of spawning and breeding habitats in the vicinity of the Isar mouth.
Meadow-breeding bird protection in Gäuboden
Extensification and rewetting of grassland as habitat for northern lapwing, skylark and other meadow-breeding birds, adapted mowing regimes and nest protection in the cleared arable landscape.
Forest conversion in the Bavarian Forest
Development of site-appropriate, structured broadleaf and mixed forests on slope areas, enrichment of old and dead wood as habitat for hazel dormouse, bats and black stork.
Hedgerows and habitat network
Creation of hedgerows, field woodlands and margins for networking Danube floodplain, Gäuboden and forest edge, stepping-stone habitats for brown hare, grey partridge and wild bees.
Species protection CEF and FCS
Advance compensation measures (CEF) for sand lizard on railway and road slopes, amphibian guidance systems, bat roosts and kingfisher cliff banks, tailored according to § 44 BNatSchG and BayKompV.
Small water bodies and amphibian protection
New creation of sunlit spawning waters for amphibians and great crested newt in floodplain and forest edge areas, networking of existing populations along the Danube lowland.
Protected species in the Danube valley, Gäuboden and Bavarian Forest
Northern lapwing and meadow-breeding birds
The wet meadows of the Isar mouth and Danube valley are refuge for northern lapwing, curlew and other meadow-breeding birds. Extensification and rewetting of grassland are typical compensation measures in the Gäuboden.
About this species ›Kingfisher and beaver
The steep banks and oxbows of Danube and Isar provide breeding and hunting territory for the kingfisher, the beaver shapes the floodplains. CEF measures include cliff bank modelling and near-natural bank design.
About this species ›Black stork
The undisturbed slope and floodplain forests between Bavarian Forest and Danube provide the black stork with breeding sites and feeding habitats. Projects near forest margins and wind power can trigger FCS measures under § 45 BNatSchG.
About this species ›European wildcat in the Bavarian Forest
The contiguous forest areas north of the Danube are habitat of the strictly protected European wildcat. Structured forest edges and habitat network are effective compensation approaches.
About this species ›Bats in forests and monasteries
Old beech forests, floodplain forest and historic buildings such as the monasteries of Metten and Niederalteich are home to numerous bat species. Roost securing and replacement roosts are part of the standard species protection repertoire.
About this species ›Amphibians and great crested newt
Oxbows, pools and forest small water bodies are spawning habitats for amphibians and the great crested newt, protected under Annex II of the FFH Directive. New creation of sunlit water bodies is a frequent compensation measure.
About this species ›Which projects trigger a compensation obligation?
Traffic and infrastructure
The district is a Lower Bavaria traffic node with the motorway junction of A3 and A92, the railway line with ICE stop in Plattling and the Danube port. Expansion and renovation projects on motorways, roads and rail regularly trigger compensation and replacement obligations according to BayKompV.
Commercial enterprises and industry
Commercial and industrial settlements along the Danube and motorways, in the vicinity of Deggendorf Technical University, as well as in Plattling and Osterhofen generate compensation requirements through land sealing and impacts on the natural environment.
Settlement development
Residential and commercial areas in Deggendorf, Plattling, Osterhofen and Hengersberg require nature conservation compensation. Owners of arable and grassland areas can offer their land as compensation areas.
Renewable energies
Photovoltaic freestanding installations in Gäuboden and wind power projects on the margins of the Bavarian Forest require nature conservation compensation as well as species protection CEF and FCS measures.
