The Glender Wiesen Bird Sanctuary nature reserve has existed since 1989. It is one of the few remaining large-scale wetland meadows in Upper Franconia. With the construction of Lake Goldberg to protect the city of Coburg from flooding in 2010, large areas of the nature reserve were flooded. In addition to the biotope lake in the nature reserve, Lake Grundsee was created south of the railway line. Since then, new habitats, particularly for waders and waterfowl, have been able to develop. The northern part of Lake Grundsee, like the nature reserve, is also an EU bird sanctuary.
