    The donkey tail pond at St. Margrethen is an artificial one

    Baggersee, which was created in the 1950s as a result of highway construction. In 1984

    The pond was placed under protection. The area Eselschwanz am Alten Rhein is a nature reserve and amphibian spawning area of national importance.
