Tips

Hans-Georg Starck

April 1, 2021

Very nice nature reserve with a lot of history. In the past, the lake level was significantly higher than it is today. The forest crest in the south of the lake is said to have been surrounded on all sides like an island by the lake, reed zone and swamp meadow. On the basis of finds from Stone Age tool remains, it is assumed that settlement or refuge sites once existed here.
The reserve is a 40 hectare nature reserve. The shallow, eutrophic lake has extensive silting areas and is surrounded by reed beds, wooded knolls and extensively used grassland. The nature reserve is part of the European ecological network Natura 2000.

The special features of the nature reserve include extensive woodruff beech forests and moist tall herbaceous corridors. The open water is covered by fields of lake and pond rose in summer. There are spawning herbs below. The special animal species in the nature reserve include fire-bellied toad, tree frog, moor frog, crested newt and marsh harrier. There are also golden gray ducks and great crested grebes. The swamp warbler and sprout are at home in the extensive reed beds. Kingfisher and whinchat can also be seen here. Occasionally the sea eagle also hunts over the water.
