The European bird sanctuary and nature reserve Eschefelder Teiche is located in Frohburg, idyllically between fields and wooded areas. Well over 100 bird species live in the centuries-old landscape of 525 hectares. The ponds once created by monks and used for fishing are an important breeding and resting area for many, sometimes endangered, bird species. Record of observations in pond diaries since 1912. 1967 Designation as a nature reserve. Since 1996, nature lovers, young and old, have been meeting in the nature conservation station to exchange ideas and start out on nature discovery tours.

Medieval ponds (first documented mention in 1457) on astonishing layers of clay in the loess area that are used for fishing (carp) to maintain the water bottles. Species-rich fauna (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals). Protected area for water birds (black-headed gull colony, four species of divers and many more). Leaving the paths, boat trips, swimming, camping and fishing are not permitted. However, a walk or a bike between the individual pond sections is a nice experience.
