The Schönfeldwald borders the Scheerweiher, Ansbach's only nature reserve

Scheerweiher nature reserveThe Scheerweiher was already created in the Middle Ages as a reservoir. Later it served as a water collection point, on the one hand to supply the city of Ansbach with sufficient water in the event of a fire and on the other hand to fill the moats of the city's defense systems. As a result, an ecosystem almost untouched by human influences was able to develop over several hundred years, which today is one of the most diverse still water ecosystems in Middle Franconia.
