The 79-hectare "Kührener Teich and Surroundings" nature reserve, designated in 1994, lies directly south of the 207-hectare "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" nature reserve, separated by the railway embankment. This protection safeguards two nationally important breeding, resting, and feeding areas for endangered and rare bird species, as well as for the rare fire-bellied toad. The core of the nature reserve is the 40-hectare fish pond, which is on average only half a meter deep and drains into Lake Lanker via a dam on the northern edge. North of the path, which runs along a narrow ridge, a species-rich, wet lowland area extends to the railway embankment. The natural water balance has been restored through damming. Large bodies of water occasionally extend here. The area is part of the European ecological network "Natura 2000" (protected habitat area and bird sanctuary). Pond management

When greylag geese and ducks take flight at the same time, a white-tailed eagle usually attacks the waterfowl, which protect themselves in groups by using defensive strategies or take flight, as the white-tailed eagle prefers to hunt on the ground or in the water. Other birds of prey, such as the common buzzard, red kite, and hobby, can also be seen at Kührener Teich and Lanker See.

The nature reserves 'Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker' and 'Kührener Teich and Surroundings' (in the immediate vicinity of the Lanker See Nature Reserve) represent a typical landscape section of the East Holstein Lake District. Parts of Lake Lanker and Kührener Teich are designated as Natura 2000 sites. In the reed beds and alder groves, numerous duck species, as well as the Great Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Black-necked Grebe, Great Reed Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Wood Warbler, Black-throated Thrush, and Nightingale, breed in high population densities. The white-tailed eagle can also be easily observed from the NABU information hut at Kührener Teich.

Grazing of the Kührener Teich nature reserve takes place in the rewetting area along the railway line and at Lanker See by cattle belonging to the "Weidelandschaften e. V." association. The number of animals is calculated so that the area, in accordance with the "semi-open pasture landscape" concept, features alternating vegetation such as bushes, perennials, and short-grazed grasses.

The "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" nature reserve encompasses 207 hectares of water, reed beds, extensive pastures, quarries, and birch and beech forests. Part of the area is extensively grazed by Galloway cattle to ensure the survival of the fragrant cowslip (Primula veris). In mid-May, the Appelwarder peninsula is yellow due to its massive presence.

In extreme cases, the beetles can live up to three years, but the normal lifespan is only one to three months. The female lays a total of 1,800 to 3,500 eggs. Diseases, predators, and adverse weather conditions ensure that only a few of the many eggs develop into fully-grown beetles.

The nature reserve "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" comprises 207 hectares of water surface, reed beds, extensive pastureland, quarries, birch and beech forests. Part of the area is extensively grazed by Galloway cattle in order to ensure the survival of the "fragrant primrose" Primula veris.
