    The 18.7-hectare "Diemelsee" nature reserve was designated at the tributary of the Itter River at Diemelsee. It exhibits the characteristics of a natural river valley, as the constant alternation of floods and dry spells provides ideal living and breeding conditions, especially for waterfowl.

The Diemelsee nature reserve is particularly important as a breeding ground for the great crested grebe. In 2007, there were eleven breeding pairs here, the number of which fluctuates depending on the water level.
