Statische Waldgrenzen
What this layer shows
The static forest boundaries under Arts. 10 and 13 of the Forest Act, fixed with legal effect in land-use planning. New tree growth outside these boundaries does not count as forest; the line is therefore the forest edge from which buildings and installations must keep the cantonal minimum distance (Art. 17 WaG). Included: the cantons of AG, AI, AR, BE, BL, BS, FR, GE, GL, GR, JU, LU, SH, SO, SZ, TG, TI, UR, VS, ZG and ZH; cantons whose terms of use do not allow use in this app, or that do not publish the data openly, are not included. For the canton of Graubünden's data: “The structure-plan and land-use-plan information is provided without warranty and has no legal effect. Only the paper documents signed by the planning authority and the approving authority are binding.”

Building and planning
The rules a building project meets first: building zones, primary and overlay land use, planning zones, noise sensitivity levels, crop rotation areas, static forest boundaries and river space, national road building lines and aerodrome safety zones, polluted sites, ISOS and IVS. For a parcel, the ÖREB cadastre remains what binds.
