The Schmitt'sche Grube is the largest body of water in the Schwanheimer Dune area. It is completely fenced in and now serves as a refuge for cormorants, kingfishers, little ringed plovers, great crested grebes and other endangered bird species. But a number of endangered amphibian species such as the common frog, the green toad and the smooth newt have also found refuge here.
