Description
Originally created by monks, the upper and lower Kelzer Teich continue to be used for fish farming. All other bodies of water were created for nature conservation reasons. Reed Warbler, Little Grebe and Water Rail breed in the extensive reed beds. Eurasian Hobby and Western Marsh Harrier hunt here and every year at migration time Osprey can be observed. Occasionally, rarities such as Great Bittern, Red-necked Grebe or Purple Heron are also reported. In winter the water from the ponds is drained.
