StraßimStraßertaleの湖・トップ5

Beautiful ponds in the middle of the forest.

The Kalbsaumlacke is a small pond southeast of Jettsdorf, near the Danube. A typical Danube floodplain pond, it is a shallow body of still water that is periodically influenced by flooding from the Danube. Such ponds often form in old river channels, oxbow lakes, or through sediment deposits that separate areas from the main river. The Kalbsaumlacke serves as an important ecological microhabitat, providing a protected habitat for fish, amphibians, and waterfowl.

A beautiful old side channel with a funny name; the Wagram cycle path W1 passes by here.

Fish pond, questionable whether swimming is allowed here

The quarry pond is fed by a small inflow that dries up just before the lake. After gravel mining ended, it was used for fish farming. With the Seepark Thürnthal project, the neighboring properties around the lake were developed for private residential development in the 2000s. All of the shores are privately owned, which means that the lake has not been open to the public since then.
