In the “Winshäuser Teich” nature reserve, a remarkable mosaic of several endangered and protected habitat types with rare plant and animal communities can be found in a small area. The “Winshäuser Teich”, which gives the reserve its name, with its wide, partly muddy, partly structurally rich shoreline with extensive stands of water lilies, reeds, tall shrubs and large sedges, represents important retreats and spawning structures for many water-dependent animals. Birds such as water rails, moorhens and reed warblers breed in the thicket of the shore vegetation. The larvae of endangered dragonflies develop in the pond mud. The water biotope is of particular conservation value as a habitat for the endangered tree frog. To the north of the pond, a valuable, rare bristle grass meadow with heather pinks, junipers and tridents complements the nature reserve. In the west, the strictly protected broad-leaved orchid and rare grasses thrive in extensive, flower-rich wet meadows. Numerous small bushes and a small willow forest enrich the area with valuable structures.
