Manche sind heute zu Badeseen und somit zu Naherholungsgebieten geworden oder werden für die Fischerei genutzt. Auch die Badeseen in Feldkirchen sind so entstanden. Aktuelle Abbaugenehmigungen sind auf eine möglichst naturnahe Entwicklung nach dem Abbau ausgelegt. In ungestörten Flachuferbereichen können sich artenreiche Pflanzenbestände entwickeln. Sie besitzen außerdem eine wichtige Bedeutung für die Vogel- und Amphibienwelt. Das Vorhandensein von Rohbodenstandorten und Steilwänden machen Schottergruben ebenfalls naturschutzfachlich wertvoll. Die Geschichte von Dr. Faust ist weithin bekannt. Hier am Landshaager Berg musst ihm der Teufel ein Schloss errichten, das vom Volk Fausstöckl genannt wird. Dr. Faust hatte mit dem Teufel an seiner Seite große Macht - mit Konsequenzen.
