    A beautiful spot for wildlife observation: depending on the season, there are frog concerts, dragonfly flights, ducks chattering, grass snakes on the hunt...
    It is best to bring binoculars with you to fully enjoy nature!

      The ponds were probably created by Cistercians in the 12th century for fish farming. The Großer Paul pond was already designated as a natural monument in need of special protection in 1933. Between 1987 and 1993 it became dry due to the brown coal mining and had to be irrigated artificially. All ponds are connected by ditches. The entire area has been protected since 1997 because many amphibians and water birds that need to be protected find their habitat here. The area was transferred to the Brandenburg Nature Conservation Fund Foundation in 2004. The foundation purchased additional areas and today ensures that the habitat for animals and plants is preserved through hydraulic engineering and forestry measures.

        The Buchwäldchen-Muckwar pond landscape is a fascinating nature reserve that has retained its special atmosphere despite occasional droughts. The ponds, which originated in the 12th century and were once created by Cistercians for fish farming, are now a valuable refuge for amphibians and water birds. Even though the water level has fluctuated in recent years, the area remains a lively habitat. Thanks to the hydraulic engineering measures that have been implemented since the area was transferred to the Brandenburg Nature Conservation Fund in 2004, the balance of nature is maintained here. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the landscape on winding paths and gain an insight into the historical significance of the ponds. The region is particularly at its most beautiful in the morning or evening hours when the light gently reflects off the water surfaces.
