Description
After gravel mining ended in Freudenthal, the lakes became an important refuge for water birds. The area, which is now protected, offers suitable resting opportunities for many migratory birds and breeding opportunities for water-bound species in particular. The area is characterized by large groups of Great Cormorant, Eurasian Coot and Common Pochard, but rarities such as Pygmy Cormorant, Caspian Tern and Whooper Swan have also been observed.
