에펜바흐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 호수

There are two very beautiful ponds with benches.

It looks like a swamp here, everything is natural. In spring you can hear an incredible number of birds here. Nature reserve.

Expelled 1988 Size 5.8 hectares Brief description: Wetland with great biological diversity, through small biotopes such as: ponds, stream banks, reed beds, large sedge meadows, tall herb corridors, wet meadows, willow breakage and hedges in the drier peripheral areas. According to the ordinance, the main protective purpose of the nature reserve is “the preservation and promotion of a wetland area that is largely natural in its structure, some of which is still under development and is being ecologically upgraded through design measures. Furthermore, it is important to protect the rare biotic communities of the wet biotope and its endangered animal and plant species". The area is characterized by meadows surrounding a small forest island characterized by alder and hybrid poplar. In this grove there are several ponds and a small forest ledge swamp. In the west, the protected area is bordered by the Rittersbach and the Gaisbartgraben, which flow here in straightened stream beds. Reed stocks, large sedge reeds, tall herb meadows, unfertilized wet meadows, fertilized meadows, broken willow, poplar plots and hedges contribute to the ecological value of this area. Depending on the season, different flowering aspects prevail. In spring, the marsh marigolds shine bright yellow, and a little later the wood rushes with some types of orchids dominate the picture. Meadowsweet, yellow loosestrife and loosestrife bloom then, while stinging nettle and hogweed set the tone in midsummer aspect. Countless insects live in this mosaic of plant communities. The ponds, created just a few years ago to replace the damaged headwaters, are a magnet for many frogs, amphibians and toads. As the sanctuary offers sufficient breeding and cover opportunities as well as a rich food supply, it attracts a large number of birds from the surrounding area.

A beautiful place with the two lakes, when I'm nearby I like to head for them and linger a bit. You can watch fish and water birds.

A nice place to unwind.

Link from the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis: https://www.deinefreizeit.com/canonicals/pois/naturschutzgebiet-sotten-bei-neckargemuend/poi.html Due to the threat of fire in the 18th century, a clearing island was created. This forest-enclosed meadow valley offers aquatic, amphibious and terrestrial organisms habitats in the form of springs, rivers, forest edges, field trees and forests. The area also serves as a resting area for migratory birds.

Michelsee, idyllically located on the outskirts of Michelbach, is a worthwhile destination for hikers and cyclists. Before you reach the lake from Michelbach, you pass the "Glück im Winkel" retirement home and a memorial for a bomber crash in World War II. Likewise, roughly in the middle of the path, the Michelseehütte is idyllically located in the forest.

Interesting excursion destination for young and old! Good resting place.
