Beschreibung
The ponds of the Weetzener Stapelteiche were created as former settling basins of the sugar factory in Weetzen, which was closed in 1993. In these settling basins, the washing water from the sugar beets, which was contaminated with a lot of soil, was used as a sedimentation basin. When the ponds dry out extensive areas with mud flats are created, which serve as gathering and resting places for many bird species, especially waders.
After the factory was closed, NABU (Birdlife Germany) and the Hanover region acquired the 6.5 hectare site, creating a refuge for many protected animals and plants. There are two observation towers offering a good view of the ponds.
