Tips

NaturFreunde Hessen e.V.

December 5, 2023

Although the Elsgrabenteiche, like all the ponds we encounter on our hike, are artificially created, a diverse habitat with silting and shallow water areas has developed here. They are also considered a “near-natural, nutrient-rich still water” habitat type. A high number of habitat trees can be found around the ponds. These are old and partly dead trees that offer a special habitat for a variety of creatures. Habitat trees are visually marked, e.g. with an “H”, in order to permanently protect them from impairment, disturbance or forestry use in commercial forests.
