Description

The Forbachsee is a nature reserve on the middle reaches of the river Fulda and part of the bird sanctuary 'Fuldatal zwischen Rotenburg und Niederaula'. When there were still a lot of fallow land and muddy areas, there were numerous landfills. As a result of succession, a riparian forest has now emerged on the banks, attracting many duck species in particular.
