A Bronze Age burial ground

Intensive duck farming began in large pond systems in the early 1960s, particularly in the Wermsdorf area. Tens of thousands of ducks were fattened each year in open-water systems, with high stocking densities of up to 10,000 ducks per hectare. Fattening was carried out using automatic feeders, and the animals were kept in heated pens during the winter. The main problems were losses due to predators (foxes, martens) and weather-related losses, especially in spring. Duck droppings served as fertilizer and increased fish production in the ponds. From the mid-1970s, the systems were incorporated into larger combines such as the VEB Binnenfischerei Wermsdorf (Stately Owned Inland Fishery) in Wermsdorf. Production was strongly geared towards efficiency and high yields, with a focus on industrial livestock farming.

Beautiful! You can see and experience many birds. There had been a lot of rain in the time before our hike, the paths were often flooded and muddy. Waterproof shoes are good here!
