Very nice area with many small and larger ponds - each connected by hiking trails. Various boards with many useful information on landscape, wildlife, fish farming.

The nickname "Land of 1000 Ponds" is not a coincidence, as there used to be around 1,600 ponds in this area. Today there are around 600.
The ponds are so-called sky ponds, i.e. they are fed by rainwater. They were laid out in a cascade shape and were partly connected by canals. For the time, the facility was a masterpiece.
