In spring, when there is sufficient rainfall, the southern part is a swamp and the small stream then also carries some water. The pond is then full of frogs willing to mate and the frogmen are then in droves everywhere looking for a female. The frogs then step into the water, where the females leave the fertilized eggs behind so that they can develop into tadpoles over the summer. The frogmen are sometimes so brutal that they crush the females during the act of love, so that they suffocate. It is definitely a real natural phenomenon, but you have to be careful not to crush anyone in your love frenzy.

In the Komoot and Open Street Map maps this small body of water is called "Toad Pond", which drains over the Sandbek to the Elbe. An information board indicates the amphibians that live here. During our visit, however, we did not meet toads but a Canada goose with her seven goats - super cute.

Different in every season. Always tranquil, and you can usually spot animals. Flocks of frogs and toads on the first warm days of spring, sometimes Canada geese and almost always ducks. Deer also like to stop by.
