Large Barmoos pond

The Great Barmoosweiher was declared part of the Postloher Weiherplatte natural forest reserve in 1995, so there is no use of wood, no duck hunting, no stocking of fish and no annual draining.
The pond was dammed with clay dams around 500 years ago by the Electoral Palatinate subjects using forced labor in the moor. The Electoral Hoffischamt Amberg had pike, carp and crabs fished every 1-3 years for the court kitchen and the monasteries.
The pond was later owned by the Bodenwöhr iron hammer mill. In 1994 it was purchased by the Bavarian State Forestry Administration.
For the first time since 1971, the golden-eye duck has been breeding in old, spongy pine trees high up in black woodpecker caves at the Großer Barmoosweiher.
In 2020, the pond dam had to be extensively restored due to beaver damage, and there was a risk of the dam breaking. The forestry department therefore brought in a lot of structural steel mesh, hydraulic stones and soil to stabilize the dam. A massive intervention in the edge of the natural forest reserve was therefore necessary, and the Breitenbrucker and Fuchsenweiher dams also had to be renovated.

Very nice pond. To get to the ponds you have to go through the forest.
