Gravel was mined here until the mid-1970s. Today there is a nature reserve here and the lake is a retreat for rare birds and reptiles. From the covered bird watching stand on the shore you can see cormorants and gray herons that live here.

The Oerkhaussee is one of the many quarry ponds in the area and offers a beautiful view of water and poultry from its vantage points.
