라이켈스하임‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

스톡하임의 니더아우 자연 보호 구역에서는 시선이 자연스럽게 위로 향합니다. 죽은 나무의 왕관에는 흰 황새가 둥지를 틀고 있습니다. 수많은 황새 가족이 이곳에 보금자리를 마련합니다. 길가에서도 그들의 인상적인 둥지를 잘 관찰할 수 있습니다. 하지만 딱새, 도요새, 청개구리도 1981년에 특별 보호 구역으로 지정된 이 풍부한 종의 서식지를 공유합니다. 2005년에는 니더 강의 일부가 복원되었고, 그 과정에서 철새들이 쉬어갈 수 있는 넓은 정수 네트워크가 조성되었습니다.

Origin from the Wölfersheim opencast mine From 1937, the Braunkohlen-Schwel-Kraftwerk Hessen-Frankfurt AG (HEFRAG), a subsidiary of the Preußische Elektrizitäts AG (PREAG), operated several brown coal opencast mines in the Wetterau lignite mining area to supply the Wölfersheim opencast power plant. One of the first of these was the Wölfersheim opencast mine, right next to the power plant. After the fields there had been mined out in 1943, they were partially filled with waste and the area was recultivated. This left several remaining holes, which filled with groundwater over time. In addition to the largest, the Wölfersheimer See with 37 hectares, there are two smaller lakes a few hundred meters further east (Schwelteich in the Schwelteich nature reserve of Echzell) and to the north (Heldteich). Overall, the water areas take up less than half of the former open-cast mine.

The Wölfersheimer See is a lake east of the Hesse town of Wölfersheim. At almost 40 hectares, the lake is the largest in the Wetterau. It was created as an opencast mine residue lake after the closure of the Wölfersheim lignite opencast mine. It was later used as a cooling pond for the Wölfersheim power plant. Today it serves as a natural area, as a sailing area, as a fishing area and for local recreation. Swimming is prohibited. The lake (2023) no longer contains oxygen from a depth of two and a half meters; According to the State Office for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology, the phosphate content is 15 to 20 times higher than is acceptable for inland water.

The fountain is in a beautifully designed, well-kept park with many benches for resting and picnicking

On the way to the Nidda cycle path we pass this small, fine park every now and then and enjoy the refreshment that the cool water of the fountain offers...

We have never seen so many storks on a bike tour

Many storks can be seen along the way
