    Papitz laughter NSG

    The Papitz clay pools south of Schkeuditz (belong to the Luppeaue nature reserve) have a wide range of different habitats in a very small area. As a result, a large variety of animals and plants could develop and have been preserved to this day. The water areas of the Papitzer Lehmlachen offer a replacement for small water bodies that have been eliminated elsewhere, e.g. as habitats for waterfowl, tree and moor frogs, many insect and mollusc species. Further information is also available from Nabu.

    The Papitz Ponds are shallow bodies of water that were once created by clay extraction. After clay extraction ceased, there were plans to fill in the ponds to create farmland. However, dedicated conservationists succeeded in preventing their destruction. As a result, they have become a valuable habitat, especially for amphibians.
