Here you see an example of natural water purification in which reed plays a leading role. Reed has hollow stems, which allows oxygen to easily penetrate into the roots. In this root zone, bacteria in combination with oxygen ensure that the dirt fraction in the water is broken down biologically. The minerals that are released during this process are absorbed by the reed.

Hiking

The pond on this boardwalk was constructed in 2001 and collects the water that has been naturally purified. The banks slope gradually so that amphibians can easily get in and out of the water. After all, amphibians lead a double life, spending part of the year on land, but returning to the water every spring to lay eggs that are externally fertilized.
