The forest pond is particularly protected as a natural monument. The alluvial lake offers a habitat for numerous animals, including the dragonfly (Anisoptera) and the pond newt (Triturus vulgaris). The natural monument is characterized by a swinging lawn with cattails, sedges, field mint, purple loosestrife, rushes, loosestrife and the rare water fennel. The yellow iris blooms on the banks from May to July. In contrast to the Bauernsee, the Schwemmsee rarely dries out.
