Pursuant to Art. 56 BayNatSchG, § 67 BNatSchG an exemption may be granted in individual cases if

  • this is necessary for reasons of overriding public interest or
  • the prohibition would lead to an unreasonable burden in the individual case and the exemption is compatible with the interests of nature conservation and landscape management.

You submit your application in an informal letter to the responsible government. As a rule, the government in whose area the nature reserve is located is responsible for granting the exemption.

As a rule, the lower nature conservation authorities at the district administrations or independent cities are responsible for exemptions from the prohibitions of other protection ordinances, in particular for landscape conservation areas, natural monuments and protected landscape features.

  • Outdoor fires; application for a special permit
    If you wish to light an open fire (e.g. a campfire), special attention must be paid to the dangers posed by open fires. In particular, certain distances from flammable objects must be maintained.
  • Naturschutzrechtliche Befreiung; Beantragung
    Bestimmte Teile der Landschaft sind gesetzlich geschützt. Wenn von den Verboten abgewichen werden soll, benötigen Sie eine Befreiung, wenn keine gesetzliche Ausnahme eingreift.
